A fifty-year-old tawny with 98 points from Robert Parker.

Tasting note

Mahogany with a green rim. Sweet and rich, with intense aromas of wood, dried figs, white plums and walnuts. Spice and dried fruit linger long, with a fresh finish.

The story

This very old tawny aged for an average of fifty years in oak casks. Kopke was the first house to release both a 50-year-old white Port and a 50-year-old tawny.

An age-dated tawny is a blend of wines from several years, aged together for a long time in oak casks. The number on the label indicates the average character of the blend.

Food pairing

Lightly chilled, or with apple pie and ice cream, dried fruit, crème brûlée or a medium-hard cheese.

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.

The colour shows the long time spent in cask. Waxed wood, cigar box, plums in syrup and plenty of toasted almonds and hazelnuts on the nose. Complex, full and mysterious. Very complete, soft and full of class on the palate, with a very long finish in which the fruit lingers.
