Kopke 10 Year Old White Port is a testament to the art of traditional Port wine craftsmanship. Produced in the Douro Valley of Portugal, this fortified wine is made from a selection of indigenous white grape varieties, including Viosinho, Gouveio, and Rabigato. The grapes undergo fermentation with extended skin contact at controlled temperatures between 16-18ºC to extract optimal colour and flavour. Fermentation is halted by adding grape brandy, fortifying the wine and preserving its natural sweetness. The wine is then aged in oak casks for an average of 10 years, allowing it to develop its characteristic complexity and depth.

Producer History:

Founded in 1638 by Nicolau Kopke, the Kopke winery holds the prestigious title of being the oldest Port wine house. Situated in the Douro region, Kopke has a rich heritage spanning over 380 years, dedicated to producing exceptional Ports that honour tradition while embracing innovation. The winery's commitment to quality is evident in its extensive range of aged Ports, including white Ports that have garnered international acclaim. An interesting fact about Kopke is its Quinta São Luiz estate, located on the left bank of the Douro River, which embodies centuries of the winery's history and passion for viticulture.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: The wine presents a pale gold colour with amber highlights, indicative of its decade-long aging process.

  • Aroma: On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of dried fruits such as apricot and fig, intertwined with subtle spicy notes and elegant hints of oak.

  • Flavour: The palate is rich and layered, showcasing flavours of candied orange peel, toasted almonds, and honey, balanced by a gentle acidity that adds freshness.

  • Mouthfeel: It offers a smooth, velvety texture with a full-bodied presence, culminating in a long, satisfying finish that lingers gracefully.

Food Pairings:

Kopke 10 Year Old White Port's versatility makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. As an aperitif, serve it chilled alongside rich starters like foie gras, scallop gratin, or mushroom risotto to enhance the dining experience. Its sweetness and complexity also pair wonderfully with desserts featuring caramel, coffee, apricot, or dried fruits. Consider pairing it with crème brûlée, hazelnut meringue pie, or a spicy apple crumble. Additionally, it complements mild cheeses such as Brie, offering a delightful balance between the wine's richness and the cheese's creaminess.

Serving Suggestions:

For optimal enjoyment, serve Kopke 10 Year Old White Port chilled, at a temperature between 10-12ºC. This temperature enhances its aromatic profile and flavour complexity. While traditionally enjoyed neat, this white Port can also be used creatively in cocktails. For a refreshing option, mix it with tonic water over ice and garnish with a slice of orange or a sprig of mint to create a delightful Port and Tonic. Its unique flavour profile can also add depth to classic cocktails, offering a sophisticated twist to your favourite mixed drinks.
