✨ Tekniske specifikationer
In 1991, Dirk Niepoort shook the traditionalist foundations of the Douro Valley by releasing the inaugural vintage of Redoma Tinto. At a time when the region was almost exclusively celebrated for its sweet, fortified Ports, Redoma emerged as a pioneering statement of the Douro's potential for world-class dry still wines. The name 'Redoma'—meaning a protective glass dome or bell jar—hints at the wine's initial tight, protective structure that slowly unfurls to reveal its deep complexity. Sourced from field blends of ancient vines, often over 60 years old, clinging to steep, schistous slopes on the right bank of the Douro River, this wine captures the wild, untamed essence of the valley. Traditional grape varieties like Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Rufete, and Tinta Roriz are co-fermented, often with a significant proportion of stems, and aged in French oak casks. The result is a deeply mineral, structured, and authentic expression of the Douro, balancing rustic intensity with Dirk's signature elegance and vibrant acidity.
🍾 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.
