Redoma Tinto DOC 2017 - Niepoort

The Redoma Tinto from Niepoort is a wonderfully complex red wine cuvée and is vinified from Tinta Amarela, Tinta Cão, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesa and other Portuguese red grape varieties.

In the glass this wine shines in a clear ruby red with purple reflections. The bouquet reveals wonderful notes of fresh red fruit - especially raspberry - and juicy plum. The fruit aroma is underlined by a few spicy notes, a fine floral hint of cistus roses and a vegetable touch. On the palate, this Portuguese red wine presents a wonderfully complex, firm and compact character, accompanied by perfectly structured tannins. The fresh acidity harmonises very well with this Portuguese personality and the expressive variety of aromas. It finishes with a very elegant, mineral and long-lasting finish.

Vinification of Redoma Niepoort Tinto

The grapes for this red wine come from an old vineyard near the Quinta de Nápoles. The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand. The grapes are strictly selected in the cellar and 50% destemmed. The pressing takes place with the foot and the malolactic fermentation in traditional Lagares. Finally, this wine matures for a total of 22 months in used wood fermenters.
