WINE DESCRIPTION

This wine is made from grapes grown in the Douro Valley, a region known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves aging the wine in oak barrels for an extended period, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile. The style of this wine is characterized by its deep ruby color, intense aromas of dried fruits and spices, and a smooth and velvety texture. Kopke Colheita Port is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of a well-aged fortified wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Kopke Colheita Port 1985 is a complex and balanced blend of fresh, rich fruit and nutty flavors.On the nose, expect aromas of ripe plums, figs, and cherries, all laced with hints of hazelnut and toffee. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with a velvety texture and a long, mellow finish. The flavors are deep and concentrated, with notes of dark fruits, nuts, and dried figs. The wine has a long aftertaste of dried spices, cocoa, and hints of spice. An excellent port to enjoy with dark chocolate or rich cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Kopke

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
