2014 Kopke Colheita, Douro, Portugal
ABOUT THE WINE
The 2014 Kopke Colheita is a classic expression of Douro terroir, crafted from traditional indigenous varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. Sourced from old vines on schist-rich slopes, this wine is aged in seasoned oak casks for over ten years, allowing it to develop a complex profile while retaining freshness. The nose reveals aromas of burnt sugar, hazelnut, and dried citrus zest, while the palate is marked by silky textures, bright acidity, and flavors of dried apricot, walnut, and baking spice. Farming is sustainable, with a focus on preserving soil vitality and vine longevity. This Colheita pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, almond tarts, or even a rich duck pâté.

Founded in 1638, Kopke is the oldest Port wine house, renowned for its mastery in aged Tawnies and Colheitas. The winery operates from Quinta de São Luiz, a historic Douro estate where steep, terraced vineyards are cultivated with deep respect for tradition and sustainability. Kopke’s style emphasizes clarity, balance, and structure, with a commitment to slow oak aging and minimal intervention in the cellar. Its long-standing heritage and meticulous craftsmanship continue to set benchmarks in the world of aged Port.
