1985 wine for sale at Arden Fine Wines.
In his novel “Todos os Nomes” (“All The Names”), the Nobel Prize-winner José Saramago wrote, “even though the clock would like to convince us otherwise, time is not the same for everyone.”
A Colheita Port is a wine from a single year that has been aged in wood for at least seven years – essentially a vintage-dated Tawny.
But most Colheitas are aged for much longer than this.
Like Tawny Ports, Colheitas do not evolve in the bottle. However, different years of bottling mean different wines.
This excellent Kopke Colheita 1985 is only £180 per bottle.

1985 wine for sale at Arden Fine Wines.
A journey in 1636 between Hamburg and Portugal is the beginning of a long story…
Nicolau Kopkë settles in Portugal as Consul General of the Hanseatic League.
Two years later, in 1638, the first bottles of wine were shipped to the north of Europe.
The purchase of a farm in the Douro, in 1781, marked the transition from a wine buying company to a major producer.
Port Wine gradually became the focus of the company and soon represented its main business.
To taste a vintage fine wine is to taste history and, in the case of this 1985 Kopke Colheita, it means remembering a special event 40 years ago – a birthday or anniversary.
It is a wine of high quality, made from one single harvest.
A Colheita wine matures in oak barrels for periods of time that can vary, but never less than seven years.
It is best served chilled.
Then it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts made with caramel.
Or dried fruit and spice, such as tarte tatin.
Or crème brulée, or with medium-strength cheeses.
