Die bekannte Zeitschrift »
The Wine Advocate« hat in ihrer Ausgabe 169/2007 folgende Verkostungsnotiz zum ›
Redoma Branco 2005‹ von
Dirk Niepoort veröffentlicht, der dort mit 92/100 Punkten bewertet wurde (nachfolgend der Originaltext):
„The 2005 “Redoma” Branco is principally a blend of Rabigato, Codega, Donzelinho, Viosinho and Arinto sourced from old vines (40+ years) and high altitude vineyards. The wine spends 8-9 months on the lees. There are notes of vanilla from French oak and then the acidity takes over. It is fresh and exuberant, a pleasure to taste, and for some 14 Euros in Portugal, an amazing deal there. It should calm down and integrate its parts over the next year, but it will drink well young, and will make Burgundy fans happy. There were approximately 1,300 cases produced. Drink now-2012.“
