ABOUT THIS WINE

Colheita Ports are premium tawny Ports made from a single harvest and aged in oak barrels for a minimum of seven years, though often much longer. The 1979 Kopke Colheita has matured in oak, allowing it to develop its characteristic depth and complexity over decades. The aging process imparts nuanced flavors of dried fruits, nuts, and spices, resulting in a wine of exceptional quality and elegance. 

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Kopke, established in 1638, is the oldest Port wine house in the Douro region of Portugal. Renowned for its tradition and expertise, Kopke specializes in producing high-quality Colheita Ports. The house employs traditional winemaking methods, including hand-picking grapes and fermenting in vats (lagares) at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is halted by adding grape brandy, preserving the natural sweetness of the wine. The wines are then aged in oak barrels, allowing them to develop complexity and depth over time.
