Kopke Colheita Port 2007

€ 50.00

A still young and powerful colheita port from Kopke from a beautiful classic year. The Kopke 2007 Colheita has a beautiful full taste of dried apricots, roasted orange peel and sugar peanuts.

Colheitas are seen as very high-quality Tawnies. Comes from a single harvest and has spent at least 7 years in French oak barrels of about 550 liters. Colheita port wine represents less than 1% of the total annual production of postage. Like Vintage, a Colheita port is only released when the best conditions are met and after approval of the IDVP (Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto)

Food pairing

Slightly refreshed, expresses all the finesse and sophistication when combined with caramel desserts, dried fruits and spices, like caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tatin tart, burnt cream and cheeses of minimum intensity. Extraordinary marriage with a refreshing tangerine parfait.

Grapes: Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca

The grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified in a careful maceration with extraction of coloour, tannins and aroma, complemented by permanent pumping-over during fermentation. This process takes place in vats at a controlled temperature (28-30ºC)

Store & Serve

Like all tawny port, colheita is best when it is chilled like a white Burgundy (14 ° C) and served in small white wine glasses (Riedel Vinum Riesling for example). Remains enjoyable up to a few months (4 to 6 months) after opening, provided you always close the bottle with the original stopper and store it at a constant temperature of about 12 degrees.
