WINE DESCRIPTION
Niepoort Douro Redoma Branco is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winemaker, Niepoort. Redoma Branco grapes come from ancient vineyards situated between 400 and 600 meters altitude on the Douro River's right bank. The grape blend includes Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Viosinho, Donzelinho, and Gouveio. Flourishing in mica schist soils, these vines produce wines known for their mineral character, elegance, and lively freshness. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in oak barrels. The resulting wine is complex and elegant, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of oak. The palate is rich and textured, with a long and refreshing finish. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality white wines that can be produced in the Douro Valley.

ORIGINS
Winery: Niepoort
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
