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 2011,2015
4 (2 x 2) 750ml
Niepoort's Redoma Branco is made from a blend of indigenous Douro white varieties: Rabigato, Códega, Donzelinho and Viosinho. This lot offers two vintages side by side: the 2011, smoky and restrained with a broad, peachy depth that rewards patience, and the 2015, brighter and more precise with crisp citrus and a creamy, quince-like finish pointing to excellent ageing potential. Robinson MW awarded the 2011 16+ out of 20 and Harding MW rated the 2015 17 out of 20 at JancisRobinson.com.

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.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

Niepoort Redoma Branco 2011
“Rabigato, Códega, Donzelinho, Viosinho. Smoky and quite restrained in aroma. Mealy. Broad and peachy. Good chew. Still pretty young. Needs more time.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16+/20 (Nov 2013)

Niepoort Redoma Branco 2015
“Crisp, cedary citrus freshness. Rather subtle in its fruit character but with an attractive creamy/sour balance. Long and quince-like on the finish. Should age impressively.” - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2017)
