Kopke Colheita 1996 is a Port from the Douro region of Portugal. As a single-harvest tawny Port, this wine matured in seasoned oak casks for over 25 years before bottling, allowing for the development of complex tertiary aromatics. The 1996 harvest produced wines of remarkable balance and acidity, which remain vital despite their long oxidative ageing. It offers a sophisticated nose of caramelised orange, toasted walnuts, dried fig and a hint of savoury spice. The palate is silky and expansive, with a vibrant, citrus-led acidity that defines the producer`s house style, providing a clean and incredibly persistent finish that showcases the precision of the Kopke ageing cellar.
