TASTING HISTORY WITH THE OLDEST PORT WINE BRAND

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 2005 Colheita it means remembering a remarkable eventlike the creation of YouTube, the largest video-sharing website in the world.

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 preferably between 2 to 6 months.

  • VINIFICATION AND AGEING Know more about the process
  • TASTING NOTES The Wine DNA
  • RECOMMENDATIONS The best scenario to enjoy

  • Its fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, where the grapes macerate and are churned with their skins on, at temperatures between 16-18ºC, to produce a white wine with colour and structure that can sustain a prolonged ageing in oak. The fermentation is halted by adding grape brandy, creating the 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.

  • Intense straw yellow color. Delicate and surprising aroma where it reveals notes of dried fruits with light woody notes involved in small floral suggestions. In the mouth it surprises with its excellent acidity that combines perfectly with sweeter flavors and some spice. Irresistible aftertaste.

  • Enjoy it with an almond, lemon and poppy seed cake, or milk and hazelnut chocolate nocciolato with basil ice cream. Wonderful just on its own, after a meal. Best served at a temperature between 8 and 10ºC.
