The famous Kopke Colheitas 1940 Tawny and White

Even before the demarcation of the Douro region, Kopke already existed. Founded in 1638, the oldest Port Wine house has built an immaculate reputation, based on high quality principles. Leader in the production of Tawny Colheita, including Whites, Kopke has an enviable portfolio of Ports in special categories. 

Considered one of the most emblematic Quintas of Douro, Quinta de São Luiz is located on the left side of the Douro River, near Pinhão, in the small village of Tabuaço. In fact, there are very special places in the World, and without a doubt, Kopke found one of them!

Going back to 1940 ... Times were not easy, but the quality of the grapes made it possible to predict extraordinary wines for this harvest, with a long future ahead.

Over the years and generations, there have been many opportunities and pressures to commercialize this year's wines. However, these wines were kept for 80 long years in a cellar that has crossed time. Being patient is a virtue only of the strong ones!

Colheita 1940 Tawny presents an immaculate freshness, where beautiful aromas of nuts, spices and coffee are very well integrated with the expression of wood.

Internationally recognized by Wine Advocate (97 points), Jancis Robinson (19), Decanter Magazine (98), Revista de Vinhos (19) or Vinho Grandes Escolhas (19).

His partner Colheita 1940 White, is an absolute surprise, where we can find notes of citrus, spices, bees wax and even some smoke. 

Equally appreciated by international critics, with 98 points in Wine Advocate, 97 points in Decanter Magazine, 19 points in Revista de Vinho, and considered one of the 100 discoveries of 2020 by Robert Parker.

We are talking here about exceptional wines in times of war!

There is no lack of reasons to taste them. We guarantee that it will be a unique experience.
