Kopke
Kopke is the oldest Port house and has an enviable reputation for their historic Colheita ports.
In 1636 German diplomat Nicolau Kopkë travelled with his son, Cristiano, from Hamburg to Portugal, representing the Hanseatic League. Two years later, he founded Nicolau Kopkë & Co., a shipping company which would eventually become universally recognised as the first Port House in the industry’s history. In 1781 they bought a farm in the Douro, making the transition from shipper to major producer and gradually making Port Wine their main business focus.
In 1828 C. N. Kopkë, great-great-grandson of Nicolau, sided the company with the Liberal Party during Portugal’s civil war. Following the war, he was awarded the title of Baron of Vilar and a decade later his nephew the title Baron of Massarelos. In 1841 the company’s name was changed to C. N. Kopke and remains such to this day. Almost a century later, in 1940, the House was awarded official recognition as the oldest in the world. Kopke have an excellent reputation backed by many gold medals, particularly for their Tawny (barrel-aged) Ports. Befitting their status as the oldest Port House, their bottles are easily recognisable by their traditional and hand-stencilled style.

Kopke, 1964
Colheita Port
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This 1964 Colheita Port from Kopke was made with traditional Douro grape varieties harvested in 1964. It was then aged in oak casks for over half a century, resulting in a complex bouquet of dried fruit, milk chocolate and freshly ground coffee on the nose. The palate has a good structure and acidity with notes of apricot, runny honey. It is an exceptional wine that is ready to drink now.
Reviews: "With a light amber colour, reveals a nose full of elegance and character, where the dried fruits are blended with the light sensations of chocolate and coffee. In the mouth it’s an attractive, velvety and involving wine. …
