Niepoort Coche Branco 2023

Grape: Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Arinto and others
Country: Portugal
Region: Douro
Farming: Conventional

One of the Douro’s most exciting and sought-after whites, Coche is Niepoort’s answer to top-tier white Burgundy—complex, mineral, and built to age. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards with old vines planted on schist, it's barrel-fermented and aged in French oak, striking a perfect balance between richness and precision. Expect layers of citrus peel, green apple, flinty minerality, subtle toast, and a long, saline finish. Textural, tightly wound, and deeply expressive, this is a serious wine for lovers of structured, elegant whites. A detailed technical sheet can be found here.
