The story
Kopke’s history began in 1638, when its first wine bottles were shipped to Northern Europe. The purchase of an estate in the Douro in 1781 marked the transition from wine trading to wine production. Quinta de São Luiz was acquired in 1922.
Production philosophy
The house emphasizes the Douro terroir, traditional methods and ageing in wood. For age-indicated Tawny Ports, the number on the label represents the average age of the wines in the blend.
Territory
The grapes come from the Douro region; the wines are also aged in cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.
