About the Session

Portugal is represented almost entirely by the Douro Valley, with Niepoort leading the offering. A small but powerful offering of Ports round out the catalogue, with beautifully mature 1985’s from Feuerheerd’s and younger offerings from Grahams, Niepoort and Quinta de la Rosa. Finally, a fifteen year old Madeira Malvasia from Henriques & Henriques offers interest for the discerning buyer.

About this Item

Redoma Branco 2019
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
From the same Niepoort estate, the Redoma Branco is a white wine of striking mineral character made from a blend of indigenous Douro varieties including Rabigato, Côdega do Larinho, Viosinho, Donzelinho Branco and Gouveio, fermented in old oak to build texture without masking the stony, citrus-driven character of the Douro. The 2019 is from a good quality Douro vintage of freshness and precision. Julia Harding MW from JancisRobinson.com gave it 17 out of 20, and Gillian Sciaretta from Wine Spectator gave it a rating of 91.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

Critics Ratings

“Stony, flinty, smoky citrus, grapefruit and lemon/lime. Just very slightly reductive but those aromas seem to be more to do with the varieties and the site, enhanced by the winemaking, no doubt.” - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2020)

“An elegant, medium-bodied white, with toasty aromas marking the lemon curd, baking spice, white blossom and ripe pear notes. Minerally undertones gain traction on the long finish. Rabigato, Côdega do Larinho, Viosinho, Donzelinho Branco and Gouveio.” - Gillian Sciaretta, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Nov 2020)
