DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Kopke is the oldest Port house, founded in 1638 by Nicolau Kopke and his son Cristiano. This Colheita is a tawny Port from the single 1978 harvest.
It is a Touriga Nacional-based blend of traditional Douro red grapes, grown on schist and sandstone soils at about 600 meters. Unlike most tawnies, which blend several years, a Colheita comes from one vintage. Kopke ages it in oak for decades and bottles it straight from cask as needed. Wine Advocate found caramel over molasses, a hint of brandy and a sweet, fruity finish, very graceful for its age and more complex as it airs. It is 20% alcohol.
Serve at 57 to 61°F in a small wine glass. No decanting is needed. Pour it with walnuts, dried figs, crème caramel or a blue cheese. Once opened, keep it in the fridge and finish it within about three months.
Wine Advocate: 94 points.
Bottle size: 750ml
