Kopke Colheita Port

Colheita, meaning harvest or crop, are Ports from a single year but differ from a Vintage. They are essentially another style of Tawny, aged for a minimum 7 years in cask (often more). They are released when ready to drink; unlike Vintage ports they will not improve in bottle and need not be drunk up within days of opening.

Bright red-brown colour with a delicate and complex nose of blackcurrant and red fruits. The taste is full with dry fruit and spice among the blackcherry flavours. Excellent structure with fine, firm and balanced tannins and a mildly fruity finish with more spice.

Formed in 1638 by Christiano Kopke and his son Nicolau, the House of Kopke is the oldest established Porto wine export firm. Through many generations, the Company was run by several representatives of the Kopke family, obtaining an excellent reputation for its wines.
