A Rare Vertical of Kopke Colheita Ports — Bottled to Order
We’re thrilled to unveil a remarkable vertical of perfectly cellared Tawny Colheita Ports from the legendary House of Kopke, the oldest Port producer in the Douro Valley. With unmatched depth in vintage-dated Tawny stocks, Kopke reigns supreme in the Colheita category.
This collection is a masterclass in aged Port: decades of slow, oxidative aging in oak have transformed these wines into something magical. The sweetness is subtle, the structure refined, and the kaleidoscope of fruits, nuts, spices, and florals feels almost surreal. But it’s all just grapes... and time.
Even better? These bottles don’t demand urgency. Once opened, they stay fresh for months, making Colheita one of the most cellar-worthy and durable fortified wines in the world. Enjoy their layered complexity this fall—or lay them down for another decade or two.
Provenance is everything, and select vintages—1966, 1978, 1987, and 2011—will be bottled to order at the winery. It’s a rare, personalized touch for serious collectors, and no other fine wine category offers this kind of access.
Colheita isn’t about vintage character—it’s about evolution. These wines have matured in cask for decades, with the harvest’s signature fading into a tapestry of secondary and tertiary aromas. The older the vintage, the deeper the story.
Tasting Note:
"Brick in color, this Colheita shows aromas of caramelized fruit, dried fruit, and spice from its aging in barrel. On the palate, it is a balanced wine, with a perfect match between acidity and sweetness. Flavors of dried fruit, coffee, and delicate notes of spice render the wine velvety and intense."
