Kopke 20 year old Tawny pory

AA2981

TASTING NOTES

Intense brown colour with brick-coloured hues. Rich and concentrated bouquet, laden with

dried fruit aromas and a refined note of spice. In the mouth, it is smooth and velvety. It is

harmoniously structured and closed. A long and delicate finish.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Served chilled, it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts

made with caramel, dried fruit and spice, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly,

tarte tatin, crème brulée and medium-strength cheeses. Best served at a temperature between

12 and 14°C.

TASTE HISTORY WITH THE OLDEST PORT WINE

HOUSE

Every wine tells a story. Kopke's Colheitas, however, tell a unique story. To taste a wine is to

taste history and, in the case of this 2000 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable event

like the celebration of the 500 years since the arrival of the Portuguese in Brazil.

VINIFICATION

Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted

into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares)

at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé)

is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. A wine of

high quality, made from one single harvest. A Colheita wine matures in oak barrels for periods

of time that can vary, but never less than 7 years. It is then bottled and sold according to the

demands of the market.
