Description

Deep dark purple in colour. On the nose it shows complexity and exuberance, with the aromas of ripe red berries combining notes of cocoa, eucalyptus leaf, pepper and liquorice, and some floral hints. In the mouth it reveals good volume and intensity. Its vibrant acidity binds well with the flavour of ripe fruit enveloped by refined tannins. A long and harmonious finish.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Kopke

Kopke's path as a winegrower is entwined with the history of its location. The Douro was destined to become the chosen stage for this marriage between the will of man and nature took place.
A journey in 1636 between Hamburg and Portugal is the beginning of a long story: Nicolau Kopkë settles in Portugal as Consul General of the Hanseatic League.  Two years later, in 1638, the first bottles of wine are shipped to the North of Europe.
The purchase of a farm in the Douro, in 1781, marks the transition from a wine buying company to a major producer.

Port Wine gradually become the focus of the company and soon represents its main business. Nicolau Kopkë & Co. is an example for innovation, producing and shipping its wines within the same company.
In 1828 Cristiano Nicolau Kopkë, great-great-grandson of the company's founder Nicolau Kopkë and grandson of Cristiano Kopke, sided with the Liberal Party during the civil war, thus linking the company and the family to the cause.
This dedication to the concept of social progress will be shared by all the family's successive generations.

He was graced with the title of Baron of Vilar in 1836 and, ten years later, his nephew Joaquim Augusto Kopke was made Baron of Massarelos. Two centuries after the arrival of the family in Portugal, their commitment to the development of the country had been rewarded.
The company changed its name to C. N. Kopke in 1841, remaining as such to this day.
