Redoma Branco Reserva 2016

Niepoort

Case Format: 1x75cl

This is a classic from the Douro region in Portugal, the Redoma Branco Reserva 2016 from Niepoort. The Redoma Reserva comes from vineyards which are more than 80 years old, planted in mica-schist soils at an altitude of 600 metres above sea level. Since its first edition in 1995, the main objective in producing this wine has been to reflect the character of the Douro’s old vines. The best barrels were selected for the wine’s maturation in order to guarantee minerality, complexity and ageing potential. Made from Rabigato, Códega, Viosinho, Arinto and others grape varieties, it is an incredibly unique wine that will be superb in its youth but magical with a bit of cellar aging

CRITIC REVIEWS

James Suckling

A phenolic white with lots of tension and texture with an almost tannic backbone. Lots of lemon rind and mineral character. Full and flavorful. Needs time in the bottle but a beauty.

Dairy on the nose nose, clove and grapefruit on the palate – lots of flavour and personality here. Has the weight and flesh that reflects the Douro well. (RH)
