Kopke Colheita Port is a single-harvest Tawny Port, meaning all the grapes are from a single vintage year, unlike a standard Tawny which is a blend of multiple harvests. The wine is produced from traditional Douro grape varieties grown on steeply terraced vineyards with schist-sandstone soil. Following hand-picking, crushing, and careful maceration, fermentation is halted by adding grape brandy (fortification) to maintain the wine's natural sweetness. A Colheita must be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of seven years before bottling, a process that imparts its unique complexity.
-
Colour: This port features an intense brown colour with attractive brick-coloured or deep amber hues and a tawny rim, indicative of its long barrel ageing.
-
Aroma: The rich and concentrated bouquet is laden with aromas of dried fruits (figs, apricots, orange peel), a refined note of spice, and classic oxidative notes of caramel, roasted nuts, and occasionally marzipan.
-
Palate: It is smooth and velvety on the palate, with good structure, balanced acidity, and a pleasant unctuousness. The flavour profile is rich and concentrated, delivering notes of caramel, toffee, chocolate, and subtle hints of spice.
-
Body and Finish: The wine is harmoniously structured, with a silky, mellow texture. It culminates in a long and enduring finish, where the nutty and dried fruit flavours linger.
