Redoma Branco Reserva 2024
Description
Le Niepoort Redoma Branco Reserva est l’une des expressions les plus profondes, corsées et admirées de la vallée du Douro, fruit de la vision inépuisable de Dirk Niepoort. Élaboré à partir d’une mosaïque de vieux vignobles situés sur les versants les plus élevés de la région, cet assemblage de cépages autochtones rend hommage à la richesse du sol schisteux. Un vin blanc de garde, idéal pour offrir une expérience gastronomique inoubliable et qui évoluera magistralement en bouteille.

L'avis des experts
Flinty smokiness and subtle nuttiness mingle on the nose, with orange blossom and jasmine dancing in the background. The palate follows with delicious, mouth-coating waxiness offset by vivid acid and an assertive mineral backbone. A thin, buttery layer of frangipane coats the fleshy core of blanched almonds, quince and preserved lemon.
From the Murça subregion, where 80 year old vineyards are planted at around 500 meters above sea level, this field blend of indigenous white varieties opens with flinty aromas and a subtle hint of toasted herbs. The palate is chiseled and vibrant, combining concentration with a saline edge. Persistent, and focused. This ferments in 1 year old barrel and stays fo 12 months. Full malolactic. Drink or hold.
The 2024 Redoma Reserva Branco aged exclusively in 228-liter barrels—they tried fermenting it and the Coche in 500-liter barrels and didn't like it. So, from 2023 onward, this and the Coche are fermented and aged exclusively in 228-liter barrels. They did a slightly longer élevage in barrel, one year instead of nine months before, to improve the stability of the wine, to avoid fining and filtering and to improve the quality of the wines, certainly not to increase the impact of the wood in the aromas or flavors. I love the softer and subtler profile here. Perhaps it doesn't have the spark of the 2023 or the persistence, but it has a more ethereal side. It comes in at 12.7% alcohol, with a pH of 3.08 and 6.8 grams of acidity. 32,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2025.
