Kopke, Colheita Tawny Port, Douro, Portugal, 1964

Overview of the Wine
In 1638, Kopke's path as a winegrower is entwined with the history of its location. The Douro was destined to become the chosen stage for this marriage between the will of man and nature took place. Quinta de São Luiz was acquired in 1922 and has since become the place where all Kopke’s DOC Douro wines are produced. The great connoisseurs of Douro wines have always recognised this property as one of the most important in the region, for the quality of its soil and vines and for its cultural traditions. 

For many years, one of these traditions was to paint the Quinta’s stone walls white once a year. These white walls are pieces of history that are cherished to this day and underline the Douro landscape in a unique way.

In the centuries to come, Kopke will endeavour to honour its legacy, that was built with passion throughout generations.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
With a light amber colour, its nose reveals elegance and character, with the aromas of dried fruit intertwining with hints of chocolate and coffee. On the palate, it is enticing, silky and appealing. It shows great acidity, good structure and arresting finesse. A delicious and persistent finish.

Served chilled, it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts made with caramel, dried fruit and spice, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tarte tatin, crème brulée and medium-strength cheeses. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Kopke's amazing stock of aged tawnies continues to surprise by its reserves. Now 50 years old, this smooth, mellifluous wine is opulent and delicious. It has the true aged tawny, old gold character, with dried fruits that have sublimated into a wine that is almost dry. It is an astonishing wine that is ready to drink now. (RV)
