The Story

Redoma is like the Douro, with character and strong personality: a wine with great structure, fine tannins and huge persistence. Redoma is produced from several vineyards located in Cima Corgo Region. These are over 60 year old vineyards mainly north facing where we can find a typical field blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela and Tinto Cão. At Niepoort we feel Redoma is the perfect Douro ambassador.

Wine Information

The 2018 vintage was relatively cool up until August, with the coldest July recorded of the 21st century. In comparison to 2017, ripening was delayed by about 3 weeks. The first days of August brought a sudden increase in temperatures, with 4 August being the hottest day of the 21st century (to date). This meant that the grapes matured slowly in the month of September. Due to water stress, we obtained musts with low alcohol contents and good phenolic ripeness, with plenty of complexity and lightness. 

Forgoing any special sorting process, 100% whole bunches were transferred into stainless steel lagares equipped with mechanised stomping devices, where they macerated for a short period of time. 

Lastly the wine went through malolactic fermentation in old wooden barrels where it also matured for approximately 22 months.

Vintage 2018

After an extended drought, rain finally came to the Douro in spring 2018 in such quantities that there was some damaging erosion. Following that, summer was hot, and yields were consequently low, but the classic varieties thrived in the heat, producing deep, intense, fragrant wines.

Inside Information

With a garnet hue and dense core, the Redoma 2018 offers an austere profile, as it actually always does. Its aromatic profile harbours the herbaceous character typical of the Tinta Amarela grape variety which grows so abundantly in the old vineyard blocks. Aromas of fresh red fruits and quite expressive pink peppercorns join these wonderful herbaceous notes. The palate is youthful, light and supported by a distinct acidity which, together with the freshness provided by the grape stalks, turn the Redoma 2018 into a firm and beautifully structured wine. It culminates in a long, spicy finish with an elegance and linearity which can only stem from its time spent maturing in barrels.
