Niepoort Redoma Branco

Wine information: Redoma Branco 2010 comes from small old vineyards, planted with many different varieties, being the most important, Rabigato, Codega do Larinho, Arinto, Gouveio and Viosinho. These special vines tend to offer fresh, delicate and mineral wines with great complexity. The vineyards are planted in high altitudes, between 400 and 700 meters, in mica slate soils, on the right side of Douro River. The final result is an impressive wine, with great intensity, fresh and minerality. After sorting, grapes were pressed during the night without any maceration, and decanted during 24 hours at low temperature. The natural fermentation occurred in French oak barrels and 500 lts casks at 18 °C. The wine aged for 9 months with lees, without malolactic fermentation or batonnage to maintain the freshness. Redoma 2010 shows a special intense mineral character, combined with the citric and white flowers notes. The smoky oak character presence is subtle and combines perfectly with the aromatic complexity of the wine. The flavor is rich, but at the same time fresh and light, plenty of stone fruit notes, citric flavors and almond notes. Strong mineral flavour marks a long and complex final taste. Try with oven-baked fish dishes, white meat, pasta or noodle dishes and the cheeseboard.
