Kopke - Colheita Port 2007

Every wine tells a story. Kopke’s Colheitas, however, tell a unique story. To taste a wine is to taste history and, in the case of this 2007 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable event such as the construction of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, the tallest structure in the world at 160 floors and 828 meters high.

Golden-brown color, with reddish highlights. Aromas of ageing in wood stand out on the nose, as well as dried fruit, spice and notes of fruit in syrup. In the mouth it is fine and sophisticated, revealing excellent volume, exuberant tannins and perfect acidity. A long and appealing finish.

• Soil: Schist-sandstone (greywacke), interspersed with granite in some places.
• Vines:The rows of vines are traditionally planted across the slope in horizontal terraces. More recently, vines have been planted up the slope (called “vinha ao alto”, meaning vertically planted).
• Grapes: Traditional Douro grape varieties.
• Storage: The wine should be stored in a cool and dry place, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle should remain in an upright position. Over time, it is natural that sediment will form at the bottom of a bottle of Port wine.
