Drink Me Port Series Tawny Dee Niepoort half bottle, fruity, fresh, young tawny, very easy drinking. The unusually named Tawny Dee, brother to Dum, is classically trodden and fermented in granite lagares and then aged in port pipes (pipas, 500-550 litre old wooden barrels), so as to accelerate the oxidative development. Although aged for only 2-3 years, the flavour development is excellent and Dee shows delicious fruitiness with fresh and dried fruit and a delicate oxidative nutty character. The little half bottle of easy Port makes a great accompaniment to a plate of cheese after dinner and is also a nice stocking filler gift at Xmas!

Stanley’s Post –
We’re sending Tawny Dee out as a christmas gift to our clients this year which meant a big order. Buon Vino offered top quality customer service and were so helpful in allowing us to buy in bulk. They went the extra mile to get our order out as soon as possible and we’re ever so grateful. The port itself is beautifully designed and a perfect size for a sweet small present. Thanks so much guys, we’ll be back!
