Coche Branco Niepoort 2023 is a premium Burgundy-style white wine hailing from the Douro Valley. This expression is crafted from ancient Rabigato and Arinto vines, some exceeding 80 years in age, cultivated at altitudes between 600 and 750 metres in the region`s cooler sites. The wine showcases a balance of concentration and chiselled freshness. Hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle pressing, followed by 12 months in French oak barrels, where partial malolactic fermentation occurs.

Robert Parker
The just-bottled 2023 Coche, their grand cru, comes from two or three vineyards in the zone of Murça. It is more austere and cooler, produced like the Redoma Reserva but in specific barrels from specific forest and toast, 30% of them new. It underwent full malolactic and one year of élevage in these barrels, stabilized by keeping it four months in stainless steel. It was singing when I tasted it. It has the serious and reductive character that is a constant here, and it is spicy, smoky and flinty, with notes of cold smoke, dry flowers and herbal tea and a dry, serious and chalky mouthfeel. It reminds me of the great 2021, with austerity, contained ripeness and great precision and purity, pungent and long. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024.
