Kopke

August 21, 2024

One of the historic Port houses founded all the way back in 1638, Kopke was founded by Nicolau Kopke and his son Cristiano who came to Portugal as representatives of the Hanseatic League. The House has been run through the generations by several representatives of the Kopke family. Today production is controlled by the Sogevinus Group is responsible for producing a total of 8.25 million bottles, with 7.05 million bottles of Port wine alone. Sogevinus exports 60% of its total wine production to more than 60 countries.

The winery is located in the the Upper Douro, in north-east Portugal, is considered the oldest demarcated and regulated wine growing region in the world and is a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage site. The Quinta de São Luiz was acquired in 1922 and it became the location where all Kopke’s DOC Douro wines are produced. This location is planted to Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cão. There are also small plots of Tinta Barroca and Souzão.

The new vintage port came from the 2022 vintage. The 2022 Kopke ‘Quinta S. Luiz’ Vintage Port (OB, 97) is a heady, mesmerizing wine that has massive cellaring potential. It is nowhere near ready but is marvelous in its full-throttle youth. Learn more about this famed Port house at https://kopke1638.com/history/ and here is review of the new 2022 vintage port by Kopke.

2022 Kopke ‘Quinta S. Luiz’ Vintage Port- A stunning wine from 2022, the 2022 Kopke ‘Quinta S. Luiz’ Vintage Port is a heady, dense and stunning bottling that has a very long life in front of it. On the nose this shows huckleberry cordial and cassis notes alongside espresso grounds and tar. The palate is very dense and viscous with serious underlying tension. A complete wine, watch this evolve for the next thirty plus years. Drink 2035-2060- 97
