- Redoma 2017, Niepoort
Product Description
Additional Information
Winemaker
The Redoma Tinto was created with the objective of reflecting the beauty as well as the harsh conditions of the Douro Valley. In 2017, we again strived to produce very light and elegant wines, with a slightly lighter colour intensity than in previous years, as well as lower extraction – thanks to the use of stalks and due to an extended maturation period in large wooden vats. The grapes used for this wine stem from old vineyards growing on the left side of the Douro River.

Niepoort
Niepoort is to Vintage Port what Krug is to Champagne. They are both small houses in a world dominated by large competitors, but they are producing outstanding wines that very few can match." James Suckling (Senior editor at Wine Spectator magazine) The cellar is owned by the fifth consecutive Niepoort generation since its founding in Villa Nova de Gaia in 1842. It was always recognised by their excellent 10 years old tawnies. The grapes for the wines come from estate-owned vineyards in Pinhào, the very heart of one of the best wine growing regions in Portugal.
