Carlos Raposo will be leaving the company, and Luís Pedro Cândido and Marco Niepoort, 22, son of CEO Dirk Niepoort, will be in charge of the wines, excluding Port. The Port winemaking team, a separate group from dry wine production, will remain the same.

You beat me to it. This was sent to me 2 days ago and I did not get a chance to get onto the Forum.
Not much new(s) in the article, but Luis is always perfectly fact checking his work and a great source for accurate info. We first met in 2003. A little known fact, he used to be married to Rita, winemaker/owner at Conceito. He is now back to home base in Lisbon. Small world.
