{"product_id":"kopke-port-colheita-white-2005","title":"Kopke, Colheita White Port, 2005","description":"This is white Port with a vintage on the label: everything in the bottle comes from the single 2005 harvest, and it spent at least seven years in oak before going into bottle. Kopke treats it exactly like its tawny colheitas. The wine stays in cask for years, often far longer than the minimum, and is bottled straight from the barrel as orders come in. White wine only survives that much time in wood if it's built for it, so winemaker Carlos Alves ferments the Malvasia Fina-led blend (with Gouveio, Rabigato, Viosinho and Arinto) on its skins, which gives it the colour and structure to go the distance. The grapes come from schist-greywacke soils with patches of granite, at up to 600 metres in the Douro. Kopke has been at this a long time: its first bottles shipped to Northern Europe in 1638. The house also likes to tie each colheita to something from its year, and for 2005 that's the creation of YouTube. It makes a great birthday-year bottle for anyone born in 2005, though it's a treat for anyone who likes Port. Serve it chilled, at 8–10°C.","brand":"Skurnik [MSK]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50982323191865,"sku":"NYC-W-MSK-102826-29","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Kopke-Colheita-Port-2005-Fortified-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_8fec7789-2d3e-4ef9-ac0c-9c84e1175c1c.jpg?v=1793751084","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/kopke-port-colheita-white-2005","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
