The 1985 Kopke Colheita Port is a cask aged port from a single vintage, known for its exceptional quality and complex flavour profile, reflecting the meticulous aging process it undergoes.
Tasting notes
Deep amber appearance and a complex flavour profile. Its aroma is rich and expressive, with dried fruits, caramel, toffee, honey, roasted nuts, and spices. The palate is smooth and velvety, with a well-rounded sweetness and a nuttiness. The finish is long, lingering, and luxurious, with flavours of dried fruits, caramel, and nuts persisting beautifully.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Colheita Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline. Once opened colheita Port should be stored in a fridge and should be consumed within 3 months.

Remarkably fresh in style. Intense orange zest of Christmas pudding fruit flavours enhanced by creamy chocolate with hints of liquorice & roasted nuts. Beautifully lengthy, burnt sugar finish with style & persistence. Super sexy.

Enticing milk chocolate, sumptuous fruit cake, nut and coffee notes are underpinned by a remarkable unwavering orange peel freshness that pervades and reverberates towards the finish.
