Kopke Colheita 1976 Tawny

Hand-picked at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process that is based on a careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and aromas from the skins, complemented by permanent pumping over 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 spirit is added (benefit), resulting in a fortified wine. High quality wine, from a single harvest. It ages in wood for variable periods of time, never less than 7 years, and is then bottled according to market requests. Vivid amber color with a hint of gold. Enveloping, honeyed nose, of incredible complexity, abundant in rich aromas of condensed milk, vanilla and coffee. On the palate it is complex, unctuous and well structured. A wonderfully balanced wine with a long-lasting finish. Contains sulfites.
