Kopke: A Historical Winery in Portugal
Founded in 1638, Kopke is recognized as the oldest Port Wine House in the world. Its legacy is deeply rooted in the rich history of the Douro Valley, a region renowned for its exceptional wines. Long before the Douro Valley was officially demarcated, Kopke was already making its mark, establishing a reputation for high-quality wines that continues to this day.
Transformation of the Winery
The purchase of a farm in the Douro in 1781 marked a significant shift for Quinta S Luiz - Kopke, transitioning from a wine-buying company to a prominent wine producer. Over the years, Port Wine became the company's primary focus, culminating in the acquisition of Quinta de S. Luiz in 1922. This historic estate has allowed Kopke to honor its legacy, built on passion and dedication through generations.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Upper Douro, located in northeast Portugal, is the oldest demarcated wine-growing region globally and a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage site. Kopke's choice of this region is no coincidence; the challenging conditions of the Douro Valley yield exceptional grapes, albeit with higher production costs. The winery cultivates renowned grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, which are essential for producing high-quality red and white wines. Kopke is particularly known for its Colheita Tawny Ports, including unique white Colheitas, and offers a distinguished selection of premium still wines (DOC wines).
