375ml (Half-bottle) Kopke 2009 Colheita Port

Winemaker Notes 

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 color, 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 from one single harvest. A Colheita wine matures in oak barrels for periods of time that can vary, but never less than 7 years. It is then bottled and sold according to the demands of the market. Brownish brick color. Exuberant and intense nose with aromas of jammy fruit well combined with aromas of black plum, liquorice and spice. Smooth and elegant in the mouth, with firm silky tannins merging wonderfully into a dense and refreshing finish.
