Niepoort Redoma Rosé 2023
£17.05 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The pale rosé 2023 Redoma Rosé has a bright color and a serious and harmonious nose, nothing banal or tropical about it, balanced and a little shy. If you closed your eyes, it could pass for a white. It was done with the juice from the direct pressing of the bunches from younger vineyards at higher altitude, with varieties with less color; the juice fermented slowly with indigenous yeasts in 500-liter barrels, where it was kept for around six months, a little like the Redoma Branco. It's balanced and dry, with contained ripeness, 12.5% alcohol and very good freshness. It's serious, without any trace of oak. They produces around 20,000 bottles in 2023. It was bottled in April 2024.

Description
Niepoort Redoma Rosé is an exceptional creation that challenges conventional notions of rosé wines. Originating from the Douro region of Portugal, this wine was first launched in 1999 in an attempt to prove that a quality wine can also be rosé.
Winemaking
Unlike the typical rosé winemaking process, after obtaining the first free-run juice by gentle pressing at low temperature, Redoma is fermented in new French oak barrels for about a month. It then rests in stainless steel tanks for 6 months.
Complexity is achieved through prolonged skin contact using grapes from old vines. More than a wine for a summer evening, Redoma Rosé is a wine to accompany meals, offering the freshness of a white and the volume and structure of a red.
The grapes for Redoma Rosé come from vineyards located near the Quinta de Naples and other small old vineyards. These vineyards have an average age between 30 and 50 years. The grape varieties that make up this wine are 30% Tinta Amarela, 20% Touriga Franca and 50% other varieties.
Taste
Redoma Rosé is characterised by an intense and elegant aroma with notes of red fruits, fresh herbs, spicy and earthy aromas, and well-integrated smoky and mineral notes. In the mouth, it presents a good acidity in perfect balance with some toasted notes, showing its gastronomic value. It is a rosé of great freshness and intensity, with volume and good structure, lots of fruit and a very long finish.
