Notiz zum Wein: Redoma Reserva Branco / 2018

Quelle: The Wine Advocate (UK) - 8/2019
Mit 93-95/100 Punkten herausragend bewertet: REDOMA RESERVA BRANCO 2018 von Niepoort 01.08.2019

In der August-Ausgabe 2019 des renommierten Weinmagazins »The Wine Advocate« hat Verkoster Mark Squires die Weine von Dirk Niepoort vorgestellt und bewertet. Der REDOMA RESERVA BRANCO 2018 aus dem Douro, eine Cuvée aus Rabigato, Códega, Donzelinho und Arinto, wurde mit stolzen 93-95/100 Punkten hervorragend bewertet, zu ihm schreibt der Verkoster nachfolgend im Original:

„The 2018 Redoma Reserva Branco is a field blend from old vines featuring Rabigato, Códega, Viosinho, Arinto and others, all aged for nine months in 60 % new French oak. It comes in very dry and at just 12 % alcohol (not surprisingly, less than the 2017). This was set for bottling in a week or so, but it was the final blend and out of cask. If anything, this seems lighter than the regular Redoma Branco. Niepoort says that the regular Redoma always seems bigger, especially when both are young. This is equally fresh and has the oak beautifully under control, despite somewhat more aggressive oak treatment here. If this has an advantage, it might be longer on the finish. Maybe. In any event, they seem about equally good just now, if somewhat differently styled. The style differences will matter more than any perceived quality difference to most people, this having more finesse and a bit more wood. This, too, will age well, probably somewhat better. I won't be surprised if both exceed my estimates, assuming good storage and provenance.”
