Niepoort Redoma Tinto

Wine information: Redoma tinto is Niepoort’s original Douro wine, first released in 1991. It is like Douro: "extreme, with a rigorous character". Redoma represents the Douro as it is: wild, with strong character, capable of giving structured dark colored wines, with good acidity, full of complexity and personality, but also balanced and elegant, with great ageing potential. Redoma is produced from several old vineyards, from Cima Corgo, in the geographic center of the Douro region, mainly from old north-facing vineyards from Quinta de Nápoles and Pinhão Valley. This gives the best of two worlds: concentration from the old vineyards and freshness and elegance from the high north facing ones. The blends in the different vineyards include Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, and several others. Dark colour. Complex and subtle aromas: black plums and spice notes, mineral earthy character and intense aromas of native bush plants from Douro Valley. Plenty of character. The palate is very well defined, with vibrant acidity and well integrated tannic structure; the fruit is present, strong mineral character, powerful but with an appealing freshness, very long and persistent. With great ageing potential.
