Since  1638

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 to taste history and, in the case of this 2004 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable event like the launch of the social networking service Facebook.

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.

  • RECOMMENDATIONS The best scenario to enjoy

  • 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.

  • Bright brown colour with a reddish rim. Long and complex on the nose, it exudes elegance and depth. The aromas of red fruit combine perfectly with notes of dried fruit and subtle hints of vanilla. Remarkable sophistication and flavour in a fine and expressive palate. Perfect freshness, with smooth, silky and very enticing tannins. A long and intense finish.

  • Served chilled, it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts made with caramel, dried fruit and spice, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tarte tatin, crème brulée and medium-strength cheeses. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.
