Elevage
Harvested by hand at their optimum point, the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process that is based on careful maceration with the extraction of color, tannins and aromas from the skins, complemented by permanent pumping over during fermentation. This takes place in mills, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until the desired Baumé degree is reached. At this stage, wine brandy (benefit) is added, creating a fortified wine. High quality wine, coming from a single harvest. It ages in wood for variable periods of time, never less than 7 years, and is subsequently bottled according to market requests.
Description
The oldest Port house
Even before the demarcation of the Douro region, Kopke already existed. Founded in 1638, the oldest Port house has built an impeccable reputation based on high quality principles. A leader in the production of Tawny Colheita Port, including whites, Kopke has an enviable portfolio of special category Ports and also produces top-of-the-range DOC Douro wines.
"History and exclusivity are two of the words that best describe Kopke, a brand synonymous with prestige."
