Fabelhaft Gin, Niepoort 0,5 l

Fabelhaft Gin Niepoort brings together the creativity of Portugal’s famed Niepoort winery and the craft distilling expertise of northern Germany. Conceived as a spirited counterpart to the beloved “Fabelhaft” wine range, this gin captures the same sense of playfulness and artistry found on its iconic labels. At its heart lies a distinctly Mediterranean character, led by handpicked Rock Rose from Niepoort’s vineyards in the Douro Valley.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Fabelhaft Gin Niepoort shows a crystal-clear appearance, reflecting its precise distillation and clean profile. The nose is elegant and aromatic, with an initial lift of floral rose and citrus zest, underpinned by classic juniper and subtle herbal notes that hint at the Mediterranean botanicals. On the palate, this gin is refined and harmoniously balanced. The Rock Rose lends a gentle, fragrant softness that intertwines with juniper, lemon peel, and delicate herbal tones, giving both freshness and depth. The finish is smooth, dry, and persistent, with lingering floral and citrus nuances that invite another sip. As a distilled spirit, it does not evolve in the bottle like wine, but will maintain its character and quality for many years if stored properly.

Production
Fabelhaft Gin Niepoort is the result of a cross-border collaboration: Mediterranean botanicals and Rock Rose hand-harvested in Niepoort’s vineyards in Portugal’s Douro Valley are shipped directly to a specialist distillery in northern Germany. The Douro’s sun-drenched, rugged terroir gives the Rock Rose an intense aromatic profile, which becomes the star among the nine carefully selected botanicals. These botanicals are gently macerated and distilled in small batches to preserve their delicate aromas, resulting in a precise, aromatic gin that bridges Portuguese vineyard heritage with German distilling craftsmanship.

Food & Serving
Fabelhaft Gin Niepoort is superb in a classic Gin & Tonic, ideally with a premium, neutral tonic that lets the floral Rock Rose and Mediterranean notes shine; garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh rosemary to echo its botanical core. It pairs beautifully with light Mediterranean dishes such as marinated olives, grilled prawns, citrusy ceviche, or soft goat cheese, and also works well in floral, aromatic cocktails like a Gin Fizz or a Martini with a twist. Serve well chilled, around 6–8 °C in long drinks or slightly warmer in stirred cocktails, and no decanting is needed—just pour, mix, and enjoy.

Producer
Fabelhaft Gin Niepoort is born from the partnership between Dirk Niepoort, one of Portugal’s most renowned winemakers, and Hamburg-based product developer and wine merchant Dirk Delventhal. Niepoort’s “Fabelhaft” wines, recognized for their artistic labels and consistent quality, are amongst the most successful and widely admired Portuguese wines in Europe. Building on this reputation, the two Dirks set out in 2020 to create a gin that would complement the wine range while expressing the same sense of storytelling and craftsmanship. The result is Fabelhaft Gin Niepoort—an innovative spirit that unites Douro vineyard botanicals with German distilling know-how, further strengthening Niepoort’s position as a creative force in the world of wine and spirits.
