A Special Reserve Tawny: nuts, spice, vanilla and golden raisins.
Tasting note
Highly aromatic, with scents of nuts, spice and vanilla. Complex and harmonious on the palate, with dried fruit such as golden raisins and a lovely finish.
The story
It aged for at least eight years in wood, which gives it its lovely tawny colour and the taste Kopke is known for.
Food pairing
Ideal with desserts with caramel, coffee or dried fruit such as currants, raisins or figs, with tiramisu and mild cheeses such as Brie. Also good with pork pâté and bacon-wrapped dates.
The producer
Kopke was founded in Porto in 1638 by the German merchant family Kopke, representatives of the Hanseatic League, and is the oldest Port house in the world. In 1922 the house bought Quinta de São Luiz, on the left bank of the Douro between Régua and Pinhão, with old vines of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão. Kopke is best known for its Colheitas and old tawnies, drawn from one of the deepest stocks of old Port in the Douro.
Since 2006 Kopke has belonged to the Sogevinus group, renamed Kopke Group in 2025. Since 2022 Carla Tiago has been winemaker and master blender for all Kopke Ports.
