Kopke 40 Anos Tawny

Harvested by hand at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process based on careful maceration with extraction of color, tannins and aromas from the films, complemented by permanent reassembly during fermentation. This takes place in mills, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baumé degree. At this stage, the wine brandy (benefit) is added, giving rise to a fortified wine. High quality wine, obtained by blending wines from harvests of several years, in order to acquire a complementarity of organoleptic characteristics typical of this old tawny style. It ages in wood for varying periods of time, in which the age mentioned on the label corresponds to the approximate average age of the different wines participating in the blend, expressing the character of the wine with regard to the characteristics conferred by aging in cask. Deep amber color with greenish edges. Extremely complex nose with hints of dried fruits, such as nuts, raisins and figs, surrounded by subtle touches of vanilla and honey. In the mouth it is dense, silky and concentrated, impressing with its freshness. Powerful and very persistent finish. Contains sulfites.
