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.

Vintage 2017

The 2017 vintage produced exceptional ports in the Douro. It was a dry year with compact bunches of excellent quality berries and extremely low yields. The advanced growing season resulted in our earliest ever recorded harvest start date. Nothing less than a spectacular year for Vintage Port!

Written Notes

The 2017 Redoma Reserva Branco displays a light, crystalline lemon colour. Its vivacious and mineral aromatic profile reflects the vines’ fantastic terroir. Complex aromas with hints of toast from the barrels complement the wine’s distinct floral and delicate character. Notes of spice, tropical fruits and white blossoms emerge to form a very complex and seductive ensemble. Tight and vibrant on the palate, with some body and a marked acidity, the wine offers plenty of elegance and depth. The finish is very long, with a final touch of smokiness and salinity. Much like its previous versions, this is a white wine which will greatly benefit from cellaring. Serve in Burgundy-style wine glass.

The 2017 viticultural year was once again very atypical in the Douro region. Due to the extreme drought, harvest began on 10 August and concluded on 10 September – according to our records, this is the earliest date we have ever started and ended harvesting. The grapes proved to be of excellent quality, with firm and crunchy skins and ripe seeds. Thanks to Niepoort’s philosophy to harvest early, we were able to obtain fruit with sufficient acidity to produce fresh and elegant wines. The grapes were transported to the cellar under temperature-controlled conditions, sorted meticulously upon arrival and then gently and slowly pressed. The grape must was left to settle for approximately 24 hours before slowly fermenting in 228L French oak barrels. The Redoma Reserva matured for 10 months in barrel, without bâtonnage. It only partially underwent malolactic fermentation.
