Founded in 1638, Kopke is the oldest Port wine house and one of the historic names of the Douro Valley. Vintage Ports are only produced in exceptional years, using the finest grapes selected from the estate’s vineyards. Kopke Vintage 2016 is sourced notably from Quinta de São Luiz, where traditional Douro grape varieties, led by Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, are hand-harvested and vinified in lagares using traditional methods.
After around two years of ageing in wood, the Port is bottled to continue developing and gaining complexity over time. Bottled at 20% ABV, it displays a deep ruby colour with violet hues and reveals a rich, concentrated profile marked by ripe black fruit, violet, cistus, sweet spices and cocoa. On the palate, its dense texture and structured tannins are balanced by vibrant freshness, while the particularly long finish extends into notes of black fruit and chocolate. Built for ageing, it can be enjoyed now after decanting or cellared for several decades.
