2021 Niepoort Redoma Reserva white

Redoma Reserva is a Douro white wine that perfectly reflects the character of the region’s old vines. Produced from grapes grown in vineyards over 80 years old, planted at altitude in schist soils, it has aimed since its inception to express depth, elegance and identity.

Spontaneously fermented in French oak barrels, where it ages on fine lees, it shows great complexity and a structure defined by minerality and freshness. On the nose it reveals floral notes in harmony with the oak, while on the palate it is vibrant and precise, finishing with a long and slightly saline finish.

On the Portuguese wine scene, there is no more consensual producer than Niepoort, and the long history begins in 1842 with the first Van Der Niepoort arriving in Portugal.

As he started in the Port Wine market as a merchant, he quickly set up his business which would prove to be prosperous and future-proof.

Thus, in the 5th generation, Dirk Niepoort was born, an unavoidable producer in the world of wines, recognised as one of the most important characters who worked, and still works, on behalf of Portuguese wine. He has worked with several dozen producers, helped them to improve their wines and understand their vineyards, while also preparing his legacy with those who are always creating irreverent wines. Nowadays, Dirk Niepoort collaborates on many other projects, in practically all national wine regions and some foreign ones.
