TASTING HISTORY WITH THE OLDEST PORT WINE BRAND

Every wine tells a story. Kopke’s Colheitas, however, tell a unique story.

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.

  • Straw yellow hue. Fragrant and rich nose where aromas of exotic fruit combine with notes of spice and orange peel. In the mouth it is intense and full where the sensations of fruit in syrup are perfectly combined with notes of aging in wood such as figs, vanilla and some pepper. A surprising wine with a delicate aftertaste and a unique freshness.

  • 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.
