Niepoort Redoma Tinto 2021
€ 37.50
With a garnet hue and dense core, the Redoma 2021 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.

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.

Critics & Awards
94/100 - The Wine advocate Tasted Apr-2024.
The perfumed and elegant (for this wine) 2021 Redoma shows the freshness of the vintage with a moderate 12% alcohol and a fine texture. This is a village wine from very old vineyards in Vale do Tedo, field blends with lots of Tinta Amarela (but also many others, such as Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinto Cão, Rufete, Bastardo…). It fermented in lagar with full clusters and matured in very old and large (2,000- to 11,000-liter) oak vats where it matured for one year. It’s spicy and peppery, with some nutty notes, a little earthy and savory with structure and tannin, medium to full-bodied. This is a very important wine for Niepoort, a little more rustic but representing the Douro character, a little bit their flagship red (Dirk said: no barrique, lots of stems, a wilder wine). 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023. Drink: 2024-2034. Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate
