Tip of the day: Colheitas Kopke, the oldest Port wine house

Even before the Douro region was demarcated, 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 Colheita Port wines, including Whites, Kopke has an enviable portfolio of special category Ports.

For the same reason, our suggestion today goes to the incredible portfolio of Kopke Colheitas, which begins in the distant 1934 and extends to the most recent 2013, with several options of Tawny and White Colheitas.

If you are still not familiar with the categories of Port, we leave you with a brief explanation. Colheita Ports come from a single year of high quality, having to spend at least seven years in wood. As a rule, they are only bottled immediately before being sold, which can happen a lot after the seventh year. For this reason, Colheitas remain in wood for a long period, and acquire a mahogany color over time, as well as a fine and complex bouquet, notes of walnuts and hazelnuts and a silky texture.

Perfect to mark special dates and to offer. What year will you choose?
