Deep and  exuberant aromas

Deep and exuberant aromas

In 1636, Nicolau Kopkë moved from Germany’s Hamburg to Portugal in his role as General Consul of the Hanseatic League, a northern European trading block dealing in linen, iron and wine. Kopke’s first bottles of wine were shipped in 1638, and by 1781 the company had purchased vineyards in the Douro Valley, moving from a trading company to an established wine producer. In 1922, three centuries after the company’s foundation, Kopke purchased Quinta de Sao Luiz vineyard, a site regarded by them ‘as the jewel in the crown of the Porto region’. For the last 100 years this impressive terroir has been the cornerstone of Kopke’s winemaking. Since then, Kopke was bought and sold accordingly, and in the 19th century the port house was bought by the Bohane family in London. Kopke is the longest-standing port house. Every bottle is hand-painted by a group of five or six, decorating around 100 bottles an hour. The wax capsule is likewise done by hand. In a world of automation, it is surely a wonderful thing to value craftsmanship like this.

Description

Colheita ports are single-harvest wines aged in barrel for a minimum of seven years, though Kopke’s Colheitas always age for at least a decade. It is a brilliant example of exuberance and elegance in one. Oxidative barrel-ageing gives this a lighter tawny colour and notes of nutty, sweet, dried fruits. The palate is unctuousness yet refined, with well-integrated tannins, and a delicious, enduring finish. Serve chilled alongside an apple and caramel tarte tatin.

How does it taste

A marriage of exuberance and elegance. The nose has a deep concentration of dried fruits flavours, whilst the palate is unctuousness and refined. Truly delicious. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C. Best drunk within a couple of weeks of opening.
