Description from the seller
2020 Kopke Late Bottled Vintage Port 6 x 0.75L
6 Bottles
Port Wine
WINEMAKER: Carlos Alves.
AWARDS/RECOMMENDATIONS
92 Points, Wine & Spirits Magazine (2016 Vintage)
91 Points, Decanter World Wine Awards (2016 Vintage)
17 Points, Vinho Grandes Escolhas (2016 Vintage)
WINE VARIETIES: Traditional Douro grape varieties.
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 fortifed wine.
A wine of high quality, made from one single harvest, bottled 4 to 6 years after harvest.
TASTING NOTES
Deep dark-purple colour with a vibrant and intense ruby rim. Aromas of ripe wild berries on the nose, combined with notes of violet, black pepper and hints of eucalyptus leaf. In the mouth the firm tannins stand out, together with a vibrant and crisp acidity. All aromas are perfectly combined, with aftertaste flavours of raspberry, blackberry and apricot, ending in a long and enduring finish, so characteristic of Kopke.
SERVING
Absolutely delicious with dark chocolate and wild berries desserts, mint chocolate cheesecake and medium flavour cheese. Best served at a temperature between 16 and 18°C.
HISTORY
In 1636, a journey took place between Hamburg and Portugal that would prove to be the root of a long story: Nicolau Köpke arrived in his new country as Consul General of the Hanseatic Cities. Two years later, in 1638, he signed the first bottles of wine sent to Northern Europe.
The purchase of a farm in Douro, in 1781, marks the transition from a purchasing company to a large wine producer. Port Wines are gaining importance in the company, quickly becoming the main business. Nicolau Kopke & Co. becomes an example of innovation, integrating wine production and trade in the same company.
In 1841, the firm assumed the name of C. N. Kopke, a name which remains as such to this day.
In the coming centuries, Kopke will strive to honor its legacy, which has been built with passion across generations.
