Taste history with
the oldest Port
Wine House.
Every wine tells a story. Kopke’s Colheitas, however, tell a unique story. To taste a wine is totaste history and, in the case of this 1998 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable eventlike the Nobel Literature Prize awarded to the Portuguese writer José Saramago.
The wine should be stored in a cool and dry place, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle should remain in an upright position. Over time, it is natural that sediment will form at the bottom of a bottle of Port wine. To assure its full quality and flavour, it should be stored in bottle for as little time as possible, and should be drunk soon after purchase.
