The Story

Hand-harvest at their best moment, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified in a careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and aromas of the pellicles, complemented by permanent pumping-over during fermentation.

Written Notes

Most probably there was never a masterclass with old Colheitas from Kopke in Germany outside this year’s Portweinmesse. Everyone was quiet, when Sogevinus chief-enlogogist Carlos Alves elaborated on the secrets of blending an old Tawny Port and everyone was amazed to taste a sip of the 1937 Colheita at the end: Green and golden reflections in the transparent, dark-red color. Honey, malt, all kinds of herbs, coffee and perfectly integrated hint of the “douro bake” aromas in the bouquet. The palate reveals a portfolio of dried fruits with raisins, figs, dates and all kinds of nuts. Perfect balance between the acidity and the sweetness. Long, very long, but balanced aftertaste. A truly great Colheita. 19/20
