A superb 10YO white Port from Kopke. Made using a blend of local Portuguese grapes including Viosinho, Folgasao Rabigato and Arinto, Kopke then made their white Port in almost exactly the same way they do their vintage reds. The result is a complex, full-bodied style with plenty of orange peel, toasted nuts, caramel and stone fruit on the nose. The palate is structured with good tannins and acidity before a long, lingering finish. This would be the ideal match for a well-curated cheese board.
