1999 Kopke Colheita, Porto, Portugal
ABOUT THIS WINE
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.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Founded in 1638, Kopke is widely recognized as the oldest Port house and a reference for aged tawnies and colheitas. The company owns the historic Quinta de São Luiz in the Douro, where Kopke wines are crafted; in 2025 the parent company Sogevinus rebranded around the Kopke name, underscoring the brand’s heritage status.
