DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Kopke is a historic Port house in Portugal's Douro Valley. Its 10 Year Old Tawny is a blend led by Touriga Nacional with other traditional Douro red grapes, grown on schist and sandstone soils at about 600 meters of elevation.
Fermentation is stopped with neutral grape spirit, which keeps the wine sweet, then the wine ages for years in oak casks. That slow contact with air turns the color amber and builds nutty, dried fruit flavors. Casks of different years are blended, and the 10 years on the label is the average age of the wines in the blend. Expect toasted nuts, dried fruit, fresh citrus and warm spice such as cinnamon, with a savory finish. 20% ABV. Sweet, yet never sticky.
Serve lightly chilled, around 55 to 60°F, in a small Port or white wine glass. Try it with crème brûlée, pecan pie, almond cake or aged hard cheeses. Tawny keeps well once opened, so the half bottle can last a few weeks in the fridge.
Bottle size: 375ml
