A Touriga Nacional-based blend of traditional Douro red varieties, grown on schist-sandstone soils at 600 meters of elevation • Tawny Port is aged oxidatively in barrel and typically a blend multiple vintages together to achieve the desired age character • Colheitas, on the other hand, are tawny wines made from a single harvest • Kopke ages their Colheitas in oak barrels for a minimum of 7 years but can age for much longer • Colheita wines are bottled directly from cask as the market dictates.

"Lightish golden brown. Layered aromas that are both sweet and savoury – mushrooms, dried fruits – figs and brown apricots (the unsulphured kind) – walnuts, polished wood. Rich and broad in the mouth, with fine structure from fully resolved tannins and fresh acidity. Long, moreish, captivating, with a salted molasses aftertaste. Gloriously compelling. Sip very slowly.

"A floral, elegant style, with honeysuckle, jasmine and white sesame notes leading the way, along with hints of white peach and nectarine, plus a kiss of frangipane on the finish. Drink now."

"Mid tawny colour with some red still showing. Nutty, earthy, woody (not oaky) alongside dried dates and figs. Much more fruit on the palate, all that dried-fruit richness of dates rather than citrus-peel freshness. Deep and long and just fresh enough for balance. Shows how different and distinctive colheita wines can be compared with age-dated wines. Savoury and complex on the finish. Sweet but somehow with a dry intensity at the very end. (JH)"
