Niepoort Redoma Red 2019

€ 37.50

The Redoma Tinto 2019 reflects all the elegance, structure and acidity that a region with the Douro’s range has to offer. Deep ruby red in appearance, the wine shows violet glints when swirled in the glass. The delicate bouquet releases notes of blossoms and red fruit such as cherry, as well as minty and smoky nuances which contribute to the wine’s complexity and character. The palate offers good volume, roundness, spice and precision, all blended together with the utmost harmony. A long finish with persistent acidity lend this Redoma impressive longevity.

The 2019 viticultural year was marked by dry weather. Spring began with high temperatures, which subsequently dropped and remained low during the entire summer. Some rainfall occurred at just the right point of the vines’ growth phase, and flowering took place in excellent weather conditions, leading to medium to high yields with healthy berries. The mild days and cool nights of the month of August allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and harmoniously.

Harvesting began on 8 August. The peak harvesting period took place during the week of 8 - 15 September, with the harvest ending on 1 October.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.
