Kopke 30 year old tawny port is irresistible with a starter of foie gras with aubergine and walnuts. A great choice for an endless array of desserts. Think toffee brownies, chocolate and pistachio pavé, or crostini of walnuts with chèvre.

Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C. Kopke is the oldest port house.

Established in 1638 by Nicolau Kopke and his son Cristiano, who came to Portugal as representatives of the Hanseatic League. The House is run by the Kopke family, obtaining an excellent reputation for its wines.

Picking by hand is at the optimum time, following with destemming, crushing and eventually converting into wine through a process of careful maceration. This extracts their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation.

This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature until it reaches the right degree of sweetness (baum). Then introducing grape brandy to create the final fortified wine.

A wine of high quality, made by blending wines of different harvests to achieve the array of sensory qualities that are typical of these aged tawny port wines. These wines have each matured in oak casks for varied periods of time, with the average age of all the wines in the blend defining the age on the label. The resulting blend expresses the characteristics given by the ageing in wood.
