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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Almond, lemon and poppy seed cake; milk-and-hazelnut chocolate with basil ice cream; lemon tart; marcona almonds and dried apricots; aged Comté or a nutty Manchego after dinner, or just on its own after a meal.

Tasting Profile

Deep straw-yellow. On the nose, dried fruit with light woody notes and small floral touches. The palate is properly sweet, but bright acidity keeps it in balance, and there's a little spice running through it. Rich and warming, at 20% alcohol.
