Zitrusaromen, florale Noten und minzige Frische in der Nase. Am Gaumen intensiv mineralisch, mit feiner Textur und Struktur. Komplexe Eleganz im burgundischen Stil aus dem Douro!"

Robert Parker über Redoma Reserva Branco 2023: "The white 2023 Redoma Reserva Branco unfurls layers of added complexity tasted next to the Redoma Branco from this same vintage. They use older vines for this, a selection of vineyards from the zone of Murça, a sort of premier cru if you like. It fermented and matured in used and slightly younger barrels for nine months. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol and is spicy, floral and herbal, with notes of green tea and pollen, a smoky twist and a balanced and streamlined palate with fine minerality, fine-grained and with a dry, tasty finish. There are 35,000+ bottles, the biggest crop ever. It was bottled in July 2024" 95/100

James Suckling über Redoma Reserva Branco 2023: "Lemon curd, dried mangoes, pineapple and some spices on the nose. The palate is full- bodied with a ripe yet balanced profile, but with a spark of acidity that brings it all together. Very long, with a very elegant sense of density and texture. Layered, harmonious, and well-integrated within its style, this is one of Douro’s great whites. Sourced from the cooler right bank of the river, it is a blend crafted from old vines of rabigato, codega de larinho, arinto, viosinho, and other varieties, grown on mica schist soils at elevations between 400 and 600 meters. Drink now or hold." 96/100
