Kopke Vintage Port 2012

€ 74.50

Kopke’s unique quality derives from very low yield Touriga Nacional grapes of over 100-yr-old vines and 50% of other varietals averaging 80 years. No wonder that these vintage ports rank among the top releases, since grapes are harvested from very old vines of up to 100-plus years, yielding small amounts of very intense fruit from Kopke’s famous Font Santa vineyard at Quinta São Luiz with its many gold-medal winning vintages. Quinta manager and viticulturist José Manuel Manso is shown with one of the ancient Touriga Nacional vines.

This 2012 Single Quinta Vintage Port reveals flavours of black fruit, with notes of plum, raspberry and cherry, and a touch of chocolate truffles.
