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.

The Redoma Reserva Branco 2020 is a true reflection of the wonderful terroir of old, high-altitude vineyards and predominantly granitic soils.
Its nose is delicate and fresh, featuring floral notes, orchard and citrus fruit mingling seamlessly with the barrels’ toasty notes. The palate reveals a complex interplay of spice, tropical fruit and citrus. This is a structured yet delicate wine with elegant body and a fantastic acidity culminating in a long, expressive finish.
The 2020 growing year was very heterogeneous. A rainy winter was followed by a quite moderate spring, providing favourable conditions for the vines’ growth. On the other hand, the month of June was relatively cool and slowed down the growth cycle. July brought very high temperatures (the hottest since 1931), with three heat waves which reduced the yields somewhat.
Harvesting began in the first weeks of August in the hottest areas and concluded in the higher-lying slopes at the end of September.
We found the 2020 vintage to be an excellent year for our white wines produced from these higher areas. Average yields meant extremely elegant wines with perfect concentration.
The Redoma Reserva Branco spent 9 months maturing in wooden barriques.
