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. Once opened, it should be drunk within 4 to 6 months.
Preparation and Usage
Served chilled, it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts
made with caramel, dried fruit and spice, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly,
tarte tatin, crme brule and medium-strength cheeses. Best served at a temperature between
14 and 16C.
Instructions
Other Information
A vibrant amber colour. Complex and fragrant nose, with the aromas of dried fruit well com
bined with the exuberance of notes of spice. Massively concentrated, powerful, rich and with
incredible depth. A wine with great character, with a delicious and prolonged finish.
Brand
Kopke, the oldest Port house, was founded in 1638 and continues today to use their
unmistakable and unique hand painted bottle. Specialised in Tawny
Ports which are an intrinsically Portuguese affair. Many of the vineyard owning families
would lay down their best wines in large wooden pipes and leave them to gently
mature in cask over many years. Time well spent in barrel...
