The Story

Redoma Reserva is made with grapes from ancient 80 years old vines, planted at an altitude of 600 metres in mica schist soils. Since its creation in 1995, the main aim of producing this wine has been to express the character of the Douro old vineyards. At the end of the ageing period, the best barrels are selected, considering their minerality, complexity and ageing potential and not necessarily those with the most expressive aromas.

Wine Information

Vineyard burst was uncommonly early in 2011, all the cycle was anticipated and harvest started earlier than ever before, nevertheless higher planted vineyards went slower than others, and when harvest was done all wines presented good quantity of malic acid, very important for the freshness in palate of the white wines where malolactic fermentation is not done.

After cooling truck transportation and sorting, the grapes were pressed very quickly during night without any maceration at low temperature, and decanted during 24 hours at low temperature.

The fermentationt occurred in French oak barrels of 228 lts and aged for 10 months with the fine lees, without malolactic fermentation or batonnage. The wine was bottled in the end of June.

Vintage 2011

2011 Vintage Port Declaration: All of the major port houses have now declared the 2011 vintage as being of exceptional quality. For many shippers this is the first declaration since 2007. The avalanche of declarations started with Sogrape, owners of Sandeman and Ferriera. This has been followed by Symington, the company that owns Dows, Graham Warre and Cockburn and Taylor Fladgate owners of the Fonseca and Taylors brands

Written Notes

Redoma Reserva 2011 shows very intense fruit notes dominated by the citric character. Mineral and very elegant, has a great potential to age; in the palate is very deep with complex fruit flavors, strong mineral character and great acidity as a support of the concentration. Only a slight smoky character shows the barrels fermentation. The wine has great elegance and an immense ageing potential.

Grapes were harvest during the day and transported to the winery in a cooling truck. After sorting, grapes were pressed quickly during the night without any maceration, and decanted during 24 hours at low temperature. The wine fermented and aged in French oak barrels in the presence of the fine lees until bottling. No malolactic was done.

Redoma Branca Reserva 2011 Big, fruity nose with grey pear, pineapples, tangerine, orange zest, floral with beeswax, white pepper, butter and a hint of oak spice. Full and rich with creamy mouth feel and fruity attack with pear, ripe citrus and tropical fruit notes. Adds fresh almond and spicy notes on the mid-palate and gets more juicy and fresh on the finish. Very long and balanced despite a modest acidity. Very good white Douro. Drink now-2018 91p.
