Kopke 10 Year Old White Port Half Bottle
If time is marked by special moments Kopke’s history is written in exceptional years. Years that are worth keeping, so they can be relived and celebrated any time. When we retrieve years from Kopke’s history, we are creating more history: the age on the label of this Kopke Port wine is the average of all the wines in the blend.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, where the grapes macerate and are churned with their skins on, at temperatures between 16-18 degrees, to produce a white wine full of colour and structure, able to sustain long ageing in oak. The fermentation is halted by adding grape brandy, creating the fortified wine. A wine of high quality, made by blending wines of different harvests to achieve the array of sensory qualities that are typical of these aged white wines. The wines mature in oak casks for variable periods of time, with the average of all the wines in the blend defining the age on the label.
