• Winemaking of KOPKE Harvest 1976 Port: Hand-picked at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process based on careful maceration to extract color, tannins and aromas from the skins, complemented by permanent pumping over during fermentation. This takes place in lagares, at a controlled temperature of between 28-30ºC, until the desired Baumé degree is reached. At this stage, wine spirit (benefício) is added, giving rise to a fortified wine. This is a high quality wine from a single harvest. It ages in wood for varying lengths of time, never less than 7 years, and is then bottled according to market demand.
