A Malvasia Fina-based blend of traditional Douro white varieties, grown on schist-sandstone soils at 600 meters of elevation.
Tawny wines are aged oxidatively in barrel, and typically 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 periods of time that can vary, but never less than 7 years. They are bottled from cask as the market dictates.

"Mid gold. Deep but somehow biting aroma of mixed peel and honeyed apricots. Very sweet, with those same flavours and a note of barley sugar (a very British hard candy) on the finish. The alcohol shows a little on the finish. Vibrant fruit and long finish. It should keep longer than this but is unlikely to change much or improve. It is pretty much designed for immediate drinking but there's no rush. (JH)"

"Seductively broody at first, it opens beautifully in the glass; allow plenty of time in the glass for it to reveal its multiple, intricate layers of fruit, herbs, smoke and flowers. Cranberry, poached cherries, bergamot, dried figs and fleshy nectarines dance harmoniously with Rooibos tea, rockrose and hibiscus. Very long finish, with lingering walnut honey and lemon curd unctuosity. A white Port of great complexity, depth and character."

"Quite a serious white port. Expect briny freshness with blanched almonds, kelp and white nuts. Though round, intense and sweet, it shows more savoriness than sweetness, with a long, integrated finish. Bottled in 2023. Drink now."
