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 1967 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable event like the first successful human-to-human heart transplant performed by the South-African surgeon Christiaan Barnard.

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.

  • TASTING NOTES The Wine DNA
  • RECOMMENDATIONS The best scenario to enjoy

  • The wine-making process includes the halting of fermentation by adding the grape brandy, the blending of different wines and the ageing of the resulting wine. Fermentation takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature of 29°C, until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved, at which point the grape brandy is added. 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.

  • Intense amber colour, with greenish hues. Dried fruit dominates the nose, with marked notes of hazelnut. In the mouth, it reveals an impressive structure against a background of caramel and chocolate. An impeccable wine with superb flavour and finish.

  • Ideal with walnut and almond cakes. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.
