A ten-year-old tawny in a wooden box: spice, honey and dried fruit.
Tasting note
A complex aroma of spice, honey and dried fruit. Soft and round on the palate, with clear hints of fruit in the long finish.
The story
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, ideal as an aperitif with nibbles such as strong cheese and pâté. Superb with main courses with dried fruit and irresistible with foie gras. Also delicious with caramel, brownie, chocolate or pistachio desserts, and with goat’s cheese crostini.
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.
