Elevage
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. A wine of high quality, made from one single harvest. A Colheita wine matures in oak barrels for periods of time that can vary, but never less than 7 years. It is then bottled and sold according to the demands of the market.
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."
Tasting
A vivid amber colour with golden hues. Enticing on the nose, mellow, remarkably complex, and laden with the rich aromas of condensed milk, vanilla and coffee. On the palate, it is complex, unctuous and shows good structure. A wonderfully balanced wine with an enduring finish.
