✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Niepoort's Redoma Branco Reserva is a landmark Portuguese white wine that redefined the potential of the Douro Valley's still wines. Sourced from extremely old vineyards—some over 80 years old—perched at high altitudes of 400 to 800 meters, this wine thrives on the region's characteristic mica-schist soils. It is crafted from a traditional field blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Rabigato, Codega do Larinho, Viosinho, and Arinto. Dirk Niepoort's vision was to capture the intense minerality and natural acidity of these high-altitude sites, contrasting the Douro's reputation for heavy, hot wines. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in French oak casks, where the wine undergoes a long aging period on its fine lees without malolactic fermentation. This meticulous process yields a white wine of incredible structure, complexity, and a salty, mineral-driven finish that mirrors the rugged beauty of the Douro landscape.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Niepoort blev grundlagt i 1842 af Franciscus Marius van der Niepoort og er et ikonisk, uafhængigt familieejet hus med base i Vila Nova de Gaia og dybe historiske rødder i Portugals Douro-dal. Huset har i over et århundrede været berømt for sine skelsættende Colheita- og Vintage Ports, men gennemgik en dynamisk renæssance under femtegenerations-visionæren Dirk Niepoort, der banede vejen for den moderne æra af uforstærkede Douro-bordvine i absolut topklasse. Med en kompromisløs forkærlighed for gamle vinmarker med field blends, minimal intervention i vinfremstillingen og et unikt terroirudtryk skaber vinhuset hyldede tørre vine som Batuta, Charme og Redoma sideløbende med nyere projekter i Bairrada og Dão. I dag står Niepoort som et globalt beundret pejlemærke for portugisisk vinkunst, der ubesværet forener en tidløs portvinsarv med innovative, elegante og mineralske bordvine.
