Kopke Colheita Port 1940, 375th Sp. Ed.

Description

A Tawny Port from a single harvest and exceptional quality, aged for a minimum of 7 years in cask, representing less than 1% of the total production of Port every year. Like a Vintage Port, a Colheita is only released when the best conditions are gathered. Whilst it ages, its young fruity and fresh aromas develop through oxidation to create an increased smoothness harmony and complexity.

Tasting Notes

One of the greatest wines from Kopke's coveted Colheita collection. It is a single cask (barrel No 10053) limited edition (375 numbered bottles) released to celebrate the 375th anniversary of Kopke, the oldest Port house. Each specially designed decanter comes in a premium case of Palo Santo wood, with leather and velvet inside. The wine offers fabulous concentration and complexity with terrific acidity for such an old wine.
