REDOMA ROSÉ
Niepoort launched the first Rosé in 1999, proving that serious and high-quality wines may also be colored pink. Contrary to the typical winemaking of Rosé, Redoma Rosé is fermented in new French oak casks after free run juice from traditional stone lagares. Complexity is obtained by a longer skin contact using old vineyards grapes. More than a summer afternoon wine, Redoma rosé is a wine to go with food, with a white wine freshness and the volume and the structure of a red.
