Description
Redoma Reserva is made with grapes from old vines, planted at an altitude of 600 meters in mica schist soils. Since its creation (1995), the main objective in the production of this wine has been to express the character of the old Douro vines. At the end of the aging process, the best barrels are selected, taking into account their minerality, complexity and aging potential.
WINEMAKING
The 2022 viticultural year was the driest of the 21st century!
The 2022 harvest was the earliest ever!
In recent years we have witnessed greater climate variability and a higher frequency of extreme phenomena, such as the heat waves and intense rainfall that characterized the year 2022 in the Douro region.
Given how we naturally work at Niepoort, this climatic variability has a significant impact on the final profile of the wines, and as such, this year was one to remember...
The harvest at Quinta de Nápoles began on August 4th with the short-cycle grape varieties, and on August 12th we started harvesting the white grapes.
The grapes for Redoma come from old vines on the right bank of the Douro River, at altitudes between 400 and 600 meters. These vineyards are predominantly composed of Mica Schist soils, which, combined with the complex blend of typical Douro grape varieties, result in delicate wines with freshness and minerality.
After refrigerated transport, the grapes were rigorously selected upon arrival at the winery, followed by slow and delicate pressing. Without skin maceration, the must rested for 24 hours, followed by slow alcoholic fermentation in barrels. Redoma Reserva aged in barrels for 9 months. Malolactic fermentation was fully completed.
TEST NOTES
On the nose it is delicate yet complex. Its freshness and character are revealed by notes of aromatic herbs, citrus and white plum, floral nuances perfectly integrated with the spice notes from aging in wood, making it more serious.
On the palate it is structured with excellent acidity. The finish is long, dry and spicy. It is a classic Douro white wine, extremely balanced and with excellent aging potential.
