Couquinho Branco

Description

Right then, let’s have a look at this one. This Couquinho, from the Melo Trigo family, clearly hasn’t taken kindly to the Douro’s shenanigans. It’s a seriously focused wine, demanding a bit of attention to truly unlock its layers of complexity. Crafted with a lineage of Viosinho, Gouveio and Rabigato, it’s a wine that refuses to be intimidated. Absolutely brilliant with some grilled fish and, dare I say, a hearty rice dish like *arroz de cabidela* – a truly traditional pairing.
