2023 Niepoort Redoma Douro Branco White

“This has sliced green apples, brine and a touch of olives on the nose. It shows great balance between a creamy, polished texture and precise acidity that is really attractive. Fresh and forward but with depth and weight. Rabigato, viosinho and donzelinho. Drink now.” – Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas Review Date: December 2024

“The white 2023 Redoma Branco has a Burgundian profile. They work with vines in the zone of Murça and Porrais on slate and granite soils, with a mixture of varieties. The full clusters were pressed, and the juice fermented in 228- and 500-liter barrels where it matured with the lees for six months. In 2023, the harvest was quite long, aiming at ripeness between 11.5% and 12.5%, and this year the bottled wine finished at 12% alcohol, slightly lower than in 2022. It has clean and expressive aromas of white fruit, flowers, spice and a touch of smoke and a very tasty, harmonious and precise palate. A little lighter and fresher than the 2022, it should age nicely. They produce around 70,000 bottles of this. It was bottled in March-April 2023. Drink Date: 2025 - 2032” – Luis Gutiérrez Review Date: April 2025
