Coche Douro
The Coche is without question Niepoort’s most exclusive white wine, aiming to reach beyond the expression of its vineyards, region, and provenance, and inspired by Bourgogne’s legendary Coche-Dury. The old vines and high altitude are the fundamental factors responsible for the success of this wine. From the exceptionally dry 2022 vintage, harvest of this wine begun on 12 August, with the picking of old vine Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Arinto, and others, from mica-schist soils at 650-700m. After whole cluster pressing and letting for 48 hours, this was native fermented in 228L and 550L French barrels (50% new), with partial MLF, where it remained 1 year on lees for 1 year.
“This has a lovely nose of pears and quince with flinty notes. The palate is sophisticated, well constructed and medium- to full-bodied. It progresses beautifully with electric freshness and concludes with a long and persistent phenolic saline touch. Textural, layered and harmonious. A blend made from mostly old-vine rabigato planted above 600 meters on mica schist soil. Drink or hold.” - 97 points, Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com
