Niepoort Redoma Tinto

Notes - Redoma was the first douro table wine from Niepoort and the first release was back in 1991. Redoma is like the Douro "extreme and with a rigorous character". It is produced from several vineyards located in the Cima Corgo region of the Douro. These vineyards, some of which are over 60 years old, are planted with upto 30 different grape varieties - the main vines are Tinta Amarela, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. After fermentation the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak barrels (50% new barrels from Francois Freres) and 18 months maturation. It is a dark wine with a very intense dark fruit nose, it has a powerful palate with great richness and bold tannins but also with some freshness. It has a very lengthy and lingering finish and will benefit from medium to long-term ageing.
