A journey in 1636 between Hamburg and Portugal is the beginning of a long story: Nicolau Kopkë settled in Portugal and gave birth to the first bottled wine of Kopke in 1638. With a history spanning nearly 4 centuries, Kopke is the oldest Port Wine brand and also the leader in the high-quality Colheita category today.
Port wine is well-known for its longevity. It can be aged for decades, and even centuries to offer really unique drinking experience to winelovers. In 2018. Kopke released only 380 btls of the CNK "380" Very Old Tawny Port as a tribute to the 380th anniversary of the estate (Lots of "380" here). The average age of the blend is 91 to 92 years, with wines from the 1920s, 1930s and older. This masterclass will offer you the opportunity to taste this rare beauty, alongside with other Kopke Port. It has everything you want, if you are big fans of aged Port.
