Does anyone have experience of or information about Niepoort Petre's Port?

Hi David,

There really is no mystery with Petre's Port. It is a port made by Dirk Niepoort from carefully selected grapes from neighbouring estates, this 'second label' vintage port is normally a great value, and is most often found in the UK supermarkets. Over the past few years it has also appeared in the USA. The 1990 is decent juice and the 1994 fair in quality with the nod going to the 1995 as the best of this troika.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
