Allez Santé! is Niepoort’s wine for Belgium.

The first storyboard was created by Frederic Jannin and shows two nice blue dogs… Dominique Goblet and Kai Pfeiffer made a new storyboard in May 2012 illustrating rain, wind, and of course Manican Piss.

„Allez Sante Branco 2011”, first released in June 2012, has a new comic by Dominique Goblet who lives in Belgium and Kai Pfeiffer from Berlin. The wine is complex and balanced and the wine label illustrates rain, wind, and of course Manican Piss.

Alonso Quijano is the Spanish edition of this wine, illustrated by Daniel Torres, spanish artist, known for his cartoon "Rocco Vargas".

The idea behind BEREK was the creation of a pleasant, easy drinking red wine yet keeping complexity, mineral notes and great depth like the classic Douro wines. The storyboard is by Andrzej Mleczko, a satirist artist holding a diploma of the Cracow University of Technology, very well known throughout the country, who publishes his weekly drawings in several journals.

The idea of creating a wine dedicated to Surf was born in Peniche, at the bar “Tasca do Joel”, during the Surf Championship. With this wine, we want to celebrate all the Portuguese surfers, waves and beaches. We also dedicate this wine to the free and indomitable surfers’ spirit, to each paddling, each “drop”, each “wipeout” and each maneuver on the waves. Dedicated to the ones for whom the sea is a sanctuary, this is your Diálogo!

Following the same philosophy as the red, this white is a wine to be enjoyed in moments of relaxation, with good friends and fine food, as an accompaniment to life’s simple pleasures. The grapes come from vineyards grown at an altitude of around 600 metres, comprising typical Douro varieties planted in mica schist soils, which give the wine a strong mineral character. In order to obtain a light, fresh yet complex wine, the vinification process took place in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels.

A wine made for the enjoyment of good food, which pursues harmony and balance for every day and not only for special moments. A desirable wine; with a good tannin structure and Douro character, enchants for its youth and freshness!

Diálogo is a pleasant, easy drinking red wine, but with complexity, mineral notes and great depth, found in the classic Douro wines. It is produced from vineyards located in the Cima Corgo sub-region, being the main varieties, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Amarela and Tinta Barroca. Its freshness and youth well integrated with soft tannins, make this wine, full of Douro character, a very pleasant wine to drink. The illustration of Luís Afonso tells stories on the labels of Diálogo since its very first edition.

With the same philosophy as the red, the white wine is to be enjoyed in moments of relaxation, with good friends and good food, to accompany the simple pleasures of life. The grapes, come from vineyards located 600 metres above the sea level, planted with typical Douro varieties, in soils of mica-schist, which give the wine a strong mineral character. In order to make a light, fresh but complex wine, vinification takes place in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels. The illustrations on the label, with different stories on the various editions, reinforce the relaxed character of this wine.

The grapes come from high altitudes in the Cima Corgo subregion, in order to obtain a light-coloured, fresh and mineral rosé. Diálogo is a fun rosé to celebrate good times at the table with friends, and is perfect for summer afternoons!

The idea behind Drink Me was the creation of a pleasant, easy drinking red wine yet keeping complexity, mineral notes and great depth, like a classic Douro wine.

The label of the 2008 edition is illustrated by Phil Mulloy, a British animator, who worked as a writer and director of live action films until the late 1980s. As an animator, his visual style is distinctive in its use of primitive, often skeletal figures and minimalist backgrounds. Phil Mulloy has won many international awards and has made over 30 animated films.

Funny illustration “Hidden Essentials” first created for Drink Me red wine in 2006. Since 2012, stories about Guardians can be found on bottles of Drink Me Branco.

The storyboard on the label is done by Steven Appleby, Canadian born cartoonist, and known for many drawings especially in The Guardian and Sunday Telegraph.

What’s there in common between a bottle of red wine and an animated film? At first glance, apparently nothing. But if we have time to see instead of just looking, we begin to detect some coincidences: the design of the label... the shadows... the person who designed it... the name of the wine... the one who produced it... But the greatest evidence unfolds when we taste the wine, especially if the film in question is about a vampire called KALi. And then... a good bottle of wine can last for an eternity. Vampires too... the one in this film, in any case, lives forever.

Drink Me Reserva Red is a red wine produced from more complex batches than the regular Drink Me, and that blends wines which had aged in wood of various sizes and for longer periods. The grapes are from vines that are around 30 years old from Quinta de Nápoles, and old vines on the right bank of the river Douro. It has great ageing potential and is a very gastronomic wine, which adapts to a wide range of different dishes.

Red wine Drink Me 2010 now has a specific label for synchronized swimming. The first released label illustrates the idea of Dominique Goblet and Kai Pfeiffer of synchronized swimming meeting good Douro wines.

2007 is the first edition of this Douro wine produced for the japanese market. The Japanese artist Maki Shimizu made the drawings representing: 子 Rat , 丑 Ox/Buffalo, 寅 Tiger , 卯 Rabbit/Hare, 辰 Dragon, 巳 Snake,午 Horse , 未 Sheep/Goat , 申 Monkey, 酉 Chicken/Rooster, 戌 Dog. 亥 Pig/Boar.

2011 is the first edition of this Douro wine produced for the japanese market.

Fabelaktig is produced with grapes from the Cima Corgo region, mainly Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cão varieties. It is a full-bodied wine very typical of the Douro region and is fresh and pleasant to drink with its smooth tannins and fruity aroma.

It is produced for the Norwegian market and the Fabelaktig label tells one of many stories in the form of poems, written and illustrated by Wilhelm Busch, a German artist from the 19th century, considered a true precursor of the current comic strip. The enthusiasm with which the raven, Hans Huckebein, drinks the wine makes us believe that it would be absolutely "Fabulous".

First release of Fabelaktig Branco came out in June 2011. For the label of this wine we used the same storyboard as for Fabelaktig Troll Tinto. The label was created by the Norwegian artist Leif Otto Furseth and it represents the way our wine helps to enjoy life…

The delightful adventures of the raven, Huckebein, and his fatal end, depicted in such an enchanting way by Wilhelm Busch, were chosen by Niepoort for Fabelhaft. As stories about animals are also known as fables, we named the wine "Fabulous". And that is what it really tastes like! Fabelhaft has all the strong points of a classical Douro wine, such as its fruity taste, strong acidity and mature tannins. But it is very pleasant to drink while it is still young. It is basically a well-balanced wine that is easy to drink.

Fabelhaft Branco [white] has been on the market since 2002. The first edition of this wine in 2010 and later ones are based on the same philosophy as the red variety: it is a wine to be drunk with good food, enjoyable moments and good friends, to mark the simple pleasures of life. In order to express the character of the Douro in this white wine, we climbed upwards in search of indigenous varieties, planted in mica schist soils that display the true rocky nature of this valley. We try to keep the wine's complexity and lightness through fermenting it in French oak barrels and stainless steel vats.

In 2002 Dirk Niepoort created the first Fabelhaft, a wine of joy and celebration of good food, good friends and good life. In the 2007, we moved a step forward to create the “Fabelhaft” Reserve; the main idea is to make this Reserve only in the best years.

There has been a desire to create a Fabelhaft Rosé since the launch of the Fabelhaft 2002, red, and the Fabelhaft 2010, white. This first example is notable for being from a very particular year when the harvest began early, providing rosés of great aromatic freshness. The grapes come from high altitudes in the Cima Corgo subregion, in order to obtain a light-coloured, fresh and mineral rosé. Fabelhaft is a fun rosé to celebrate good times at the table with friends, and is perfect for summer afternoons!

Illustrated with paper cuts from Hans Christian Andersen, Fantasi is the creation of a pleasant, easy´drinking red wine, although keeping complexity, mineral notes and great depth, typical of a classic Douro wine.

H. C. Andersen, the Danish author and poet, most famous for his fairy tales, did the paper cuts as illustrated in the label.

It is a full-bodied wine very typical of the Douro region and is fresh and pleasant to drink with its smooth tannins and fruity aroma. It is produced with grapes from the Cima Corgo region, mainly Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cão varieties.

The Dutch illustrator, Willem Holtkamp, based and depicted the story "Gestolen Fiets" (Stolen Bicycle) on Fabulous, which gave this wine for the Dutch market its name.

Since 2012 you can follow a story about a Stolen Bicycle or as Dutch would say, a story about „Gestolen fiets” not only on red, but also on white wine label: Gestolen Fiets Branco. The label for Dutch market was created in 2004 by the artist Willem Holtkamp.

A new label created by a Dutch artist and illustrator Linde Faas! The story is obviously inspired in Gestolen Fiets and the Koninginnedag. Queen Beatrix is riding a bike with Prince Willem Alexander! She decided to abdicate to his son, and celebrate with a glass of wine! Let’s also celebrate this moment with this special wine to honour the Queen and the future King!

After the successful introduction in 2004 of Gestolen Fiets, drawn by Willem Holtrop, the well-known Dutch artist Peter van Straaten designed an entire new label in 2014. Famous for his oneliners in this new cartoon he suggests an entire story that is entirely up to the reader to interpret.

Niepoort wine can bring together even greatest enemies - Latvian hero Lāčplēsis cheering with ferocious oponent Black Knight!

With the Finnish market in mind, the label of the fabulous Sarvet initially contained a storyboard designed by the illustrator, Juba Tuomola, who created Viivi and Wagner (a woman and an anthropomorphic pig), famous in Finland for the endless stories about their bickering that were already being published in the daily newspapers. The Sarvet label now contains one of the scenes from the initial storyboard, where the characters dance frenetically holding a glass of wine. One could say that they celebrate to the "rhythm" of Fabulous.

UBUNTU!! A special edition to celebrate the World Cup in South Africa! The artist Leonora van Staden, from Stellenbosh, drew this amusing label showing animals playing a great football match! Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's loyalties and relationships. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of southern Africa and is seen as a classical African concept.

Dirk, a football fan, explains the concept and the relation with football: “In football, as in life, the concept stands for "humanity" and "public spirit" but also for the belief in a universal band of sharing.”

A wine made for the enjoyment of good food, which pursues harmony and balance for every day and not only for special moments.
