Description

Kopke 20 Year Old Tawny Port

Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of traditional Douro grape varietals such as Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, grown on schist-sandstone soils with some granite influence, within the Douro Valley region of Portugal. 

Taste Profile: With Kopke 20 Years Old Tawny, everything is just so: fig, plum and black-cherry fruit alongside cinnamon, clove and anise spices. It basically sounds like a Christmas candle. The candied-nut and milk-chocolate flavours that are classic for the style have a lingering persistence, schmoozed along by plenty of sweetness 

Winemaking Process: Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved.

At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. A wine of high quality, made by blending wines of different harvests to achieve the array of sensory qualities that are typical of these aged tawny Port wines. These wines have each matured in oak casks for varied periods of time, with the average age of all the wines in the blend defining the age on the label. The resulting blend expresses the characteristics given by the ageing in wood.
