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 1980 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable event like the launching of the cable television channel CNN in the USA, the first 24-hour all-news TV channel.
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.
