Niepoort Redoma Red Wine - 2004(W-1046)

Niepoort Redoma Red Wine
Big Powerful

Winery Story

Niepoort has been an independent family business since 1842. Through five generations, the business passed successfully from one Niepoort to... (more...) the next, and in most cases, older and younger generation worked side by side for a long period. The “Redoma” proprietary brand was first released in 1991 as Niepoort’s first Douro table wine. This wine is made from a mixed varietal blend (principally Tinta Amarela, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca) from a 60-year-old vineyard, although some older vines were used as well. It was raised for eighteen months in French oak.

Tasting Note

Cool, refreshing, and beautifully balanced, this is friendly and charming. The sweet mid-palate is young and primary. It is mid-weight, with... (more...) notes of herbs around the edges. With air, the wine, which seemed rather flat, becomes brighter and livelier as the acidity and ripe tannins appear, and the finish finally shows a little grip, along with some bursts of acidity that were not always as friendly as the rest of the wine’s demeanor.

A beautiful bottle of wine. Combines new world fruit with old world minerality. Enjoyed with the family at La Chaumiere in DC.
