Kopke's 20 Year Old Tawny is silky and beautifully balanced, offering flavours of fig, candied orange, roasted nuts and soft toffee, lifted by a gentle freshness. The finish is lingering, elegant and beautifully layered. Perfect with crème brûlée, aged hard cheeses, roasted nuts or festive desserts like mince pies and Christmas pudding. Serve slightly chilled at 12–14°C. Kopke measures time through remarkable vintages. Each tawny is a blend of carefully aged wines, and the age on the label reflects the average age of that final blend - history preserved in every bottle. Hand-picked grapes are fermented in traditional lagares, with maceration to draw out colour and flavour. Once the right sweetness is reached, grape spirit is added, and the wine matures for years in oak casks, developing depth, spice and complexity.
