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 1985 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable event like the birth of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the all-time best football players in the world.
Grape Varieties: Traditional Douro varieties.
Tasting Notes: Vivid golden-red colour. Complex bouquet of fruity aromas, especially red fruit. In the mouth, it is elegant, well structured and with excellent aromatic intensity. Its freshness is in perfect balance with the delicious fruity avours that persist in a seductive and lengthy finish.
Vinification and Ageing: The wine-making process includes the halting of fermentation by adding the grape brandy, the blending of di erent wines and the ageing of the resulting wine. Fermentation takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature of 29°C, until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved, at which point the grape brandy is added. 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.
Recommendations: Perfect with very sweet desserts, ice cream and chocolate. Best served at a temperature between 14 and 16°C.
Winemaker: Carlos Alves
