Vinha da Pisca was for many years part of the Vintage Niepoort blend. In 2007, a small amount of Pisca grapes was discarded and the resulting wine was aged in barrels, unlike the current practice of aging in large vats, thus attempting to recreate the legendary 1970 Niepoort Vintage, all he also aged in kites. In addition, the aging of wine before bottling in a less reductive way, leads us to try to go back to the days when Vintage were sent in kites to Northern Europe and then bottled at the end of the second year or in the year after harvest, in contrast to current bottling practice, during the second year after harvest.

| Vinification | After several dry winters, winter 2006/2007 was very useful in replenishing water reserves. In 2007, the first Pisca harvests started on September 20 at the historic Vale de Mendiz winery. All winemaking was carried out in granite mills with 100% stalks. In fermentation, the musts showed very dark colors with shades of purple and an excellent balance and acidity. |
| Test Results | Dense in color, with a fresh aroma, showing subtle aromas of black fruits and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate it is silky, presenting good fruit based on a compact structure of tannins ending in a long finish. |
