The Story
Niepoort launched their first Rosé in 1999, with the aim of proving that Rosés can also be wines of great quality. Produced from old vines and fermented in barrels, the Redoma Rosé is a well-balanced wine best suited as a versatile accompaniment to food. With the freshness of a white wine and the complexity and structure of a red wine, it provides a completely different perspective on Rosés.

Wine Information
The 2010 year will be remembered by the strong rains all over winter and beginning of spring, high amounts of water in the soil led to higher yields and raised the diseases pressure in the vineyards; July and August were hot and dry, promoting a fast maturation process. The increased amount of cluster per vine didn’t allow the sugar levels to rise into levels similar with the previous harvest.
Fermentation was done in new oak barrels and the ageing in vats, with no malolactic done the wine kept the freshness and acidity enough to balance the structure and the volume of older vineyards.
