Elevage
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and skin aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. A wine of high quality, made from one single harvest. Aged in oak wood for 80 years.
Description
The oldest Port house
Even before the demarcation of the Douro region, Kopke already existed. Founded in 1638, the oldest Port house has built an impeccable reputation based on high quality principles. A leader in the production of Tawny Colheita Port, including whites, Kopke has an enviable portfolio of special category Ports and also produces top-of-the-range DOC Douro wines.
"History and exclusivity are two of the words that best describe Kopke, a brand synonymous with prestige."

Tasting
With a slightly greenish hue, this wine presents an elegant and remarkable freshness and complex aromas of dried fruit balanced with the aromas of wood and coffee and hints of spice. In the mouth it reveals layers of flavour, ending with a long and textured finish.
Best served slightly refreshed and paired with beef, caramelised onion with peanut shavings, caramelised pear combined with a cheese flavoured ice cream, dehydrated apricots and caramel-based desserts, nuts and spices.
