1967 Kopke Colheita Port 1 x 0.75L 1 Bottle Port Wine WINEMAKER: Carlos Alves. AWARDS/RECOMMENDATIONS 95 Points, Robert Parker 95 Points, Wine Enthusiast 93 Points, Decanter World Wine Awards 93 Points, Wine & Spirits Magazine Gold Medal, International Wine Challenge Gold Medal, International Wine & Spirits Competition WINE VARIETIES: Touriga Nacional (25%), Tinta Roriz (25%), Touriga Franca (25%) & Tinta Barroca (25%). VINIFICATION The wine-making process includes the halting of fermentation by adding the grape brandy, the blending of different wines and the ageing of the resulting wine. Fermentation takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature of 29°C, until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved, at which point the grape brandy is added. 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. TASTING NOTES Intense amber colour, with greenish hues. Dried fruit dominates the nose, with marked notes of hazelnut. In the mouth, it reveals an impressive structure against a background of caramel and chocolate. An impeccable wine with superb flavour and finish. SERVING Ideal with walnut and almond cakes. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°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. PLEASE NOTE: This is a recurring auction.
