Non Vintage
Douro, Portugal
Grape Varieties: Traditional grapes from Douro.
Vinification
Hand-harvest at their best moment, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and
vinified in a careful maceration, complemented by permanent pumping-over during
fermentation. This process takes place in stainless-steel vats at a controlled
temperature between 16-18ºC, until reaching the desired Baumé. At this phase,
grape brandy is added (benefit), originating a fortified wine. Obtained by the
lotation of wines with variable levels of maturation and source, lead through the
ageing in stainless-steel and wood for a minimum of 3 years, resulting in a rich
wine, aromatic and with a balanced sweetness.
Tasting Notes
With a greenish-citrine colour, Kopke White presents a rich and aromatic nose,
standing-out the citrine fruit fresh aromas. In the mouth is smooth, velvety, with a
perfect acidity and a delicious finish.
Recommendations
The wine should be stored in a fresh, dry and dark place, without temperature
variations, and the bottle must remain up-right. As a natural product, the Port
Wine is subject to create deposit when ageing. Once opened, it should be
consumed within 2 to 4 months. The periods here suggested are merely for
guidance, not implying the deterioration of the wine but only a slow evolution that
can lead to the loss of its original sensorial characteristics. A delicious aperitif
when served fresh, simple or with toasted almonds and dried fruits. Its freshness
and lightness makes it the perfect choice to serve with a salad of fresh figs with
smoked ham or a tempting grilled sole with almonds crust. The versatility is
extended to the desserts, brilliantly combined with tropical fruits, such as a
carpaccio of mango and papaya. The multiplicity of possible harmonies is superb,
having the consumer the pleasure to go in search of new flavours. Serve at a
temperature between 8 and 10ºC.
