Niepoort Redoma Tinto 2020

€ 37.50

With a garnet hue and dense core, the Redoma 2020 offers an austere profile, as it actually always does. Its aromatic profile harbours the herbaceous character typical of the Tinta Amarela grape variety which grows so abundantly in the old vineyard blocks. Aromas of fresh red fruits and quite expressive pink peppercorns join these wonderful herbaceous notes. The palate is youthful, light and supported by a distinct acidity which, together with the freshness provided by the grape stalks, turn the Redoma 2020 into a firm and beautifully structured wine. It culminates in a long, spicy finish with an elegance and linearity which can only stem from its time spent maturing in barrels.

The 2020 growing year was very heterogeneous. A rainy winter was followed by a quite moderate spring, providing favourable conditions for the vines’ growth. On the other hand, the month of June was relatively cool and slowed down the growth cycle. July brought very high temperatures (the hottest since 1931), with three heat waves which reduced the yields somewhat. Harvesting began in the first weeks of August in the hottest areas and concluded in the higher-lying slopes at the end of September.

Forgoing any special sorting process, 100% whole bunches were transferred into stainless steel lagares equipped with mechanised stomping devices, where they macerated for a short period of time. Lastly the wine went through malolactic fermentation in old wooden barrels where it also matured for approximately 22 months.
