Vineyards & Viticulture
“Sempar” means “unequalled”, “unique”, “incomparable” – a name which perfectly represents the style of Niepoort’s wine philosophy: uncomplicated wines which give maximum expression to the vineyards from which they are created. Sempar: a unique balance between the heat of the Alentejo and the freshness of the Serra Mountains.

Harvest & Vinification
The large majority of the grapes was destemmed. Fermentation took place in concrete amphorae in which the wine also aged for 36 months, without too much extraction.
