Redoma Reserva Branco
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 barriques were selected for the wine’s maturation in order to guarantee minerality, complexity and ageing potential. Rabigato, Códega, Viosinho, Arinto and others were fermented in French barrique, where it remained for 9 months. There's a lovely reductive thread backboning this wine, drawing green apple, lemon, green fig, and crushed stones along the structured, medium bodied palate, through a lingering flake salt finish. A wine with presence and longevity, drinking beautifully now, and with ample time ahead.
“Lemon curd, dried mangoes, pineapple and some spices on the nose. The palate is full- bodied with a ripe yet balanced profile, but with a spark of acidity that brings it all together. Very long, with a very elegant sense of density and texture. Layered, harmonious, and well-integrated within its style, this is one of Douro’s great whites. Sourced from the cooler right bank of the river, it is a blend crafted from old vines of rabigato, codega de larinho, arinto, viosinho, and other varieties, grown on mica schist soils at elevations between 400 and 600 meters. Drink now or hold.” - 96 points, Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com, Dec 7, 2024.
‘NIepoort’s Douro Branco Redoma Reserva 2023, meanwhile, can be seen as the little sibling to the Niepoort Douro Branco Coche. This white is produced from a meticulously selected group of vineyards planted at approximately 600 meters in altitude, and it consistently delivers exceptional quality. It's a blend of rabigato, codega de larinho, viosinho, arinto and other grapes from old vines in mica-schist soils at elevations between 400 and 600 meters. According to Niepoort, this is where white varieties excel in the Douro.
The wine undergoes fermentation and is aged for nine months in barrel, where it is subject to further malolactic fermentation. The result is a classy white wine that is dense and textured yet balanced with a refreshing spark of acidity.”
