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.
