The Story

Coche is without question our most exclusive white wine, but it is also a wine which aims to reach beyond the expression of its vineyards, region and provenance. The old vines and high altitude are the fundamental factors responsible for the success of this wine. Year after year the great challenge lies in achieving a balance between its body and acidity in order to create a fresh wine with a tremendous ageing potential.

Written Notes

Coche shows a very intense and deep mineral character. The perfectly integrated wood ensures great complexity, with a slightly salty profile and sílex notes. Elegant in the mouth, has several layers to discover, with concentration and a very firm acidity. Shows dried fruits notes, stone fruits hints and a very fine, delicate and persistent finish. To be appreciated in a Burgundy glass.

2012 was marked by the lack of rain in the Douro region. As a result, the growing cycle began, on average, 15 days later than in previous years. On the other hand, winter 2012 also recorded very low temperatures, which resulted in good and well balanced growth of the vegetation. The maturation period was not as hot as usual, creating a good balance in the total acidity of the grape musts.

Coche has its origin in vineyards with more than 70 years old, located in the right bank of Douro river at 600m high. After selection in the vine and winery the grapes were softly pressed and decanted for a 24 hour period. The alcoholic fermentation occured in French oak used barrels (228l). Coche aged for 12 months in the same barrels, without bâttonage or racking, where the malolactic fermentation took place.
