Description
Kopke Port 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 has been run through the generations by several representatives of the Kopke family, obtaining an excellent reputation for its wines.
This Kopke single-harvest tawny Port from 1979 was bottled in 1998 and reveals complex and rich notes of dried stone fruits. The nose offers aromas of coffee and wood, leading to an intense palate coloured by figs, dates and tannins that find harmony in the lingering and elegant finish. This sweet Port pairs well with crème brulee and caramel fondant with apples and ginger, which bring out the more delicate nuances.
