Kopke Fine White Port
Kopke Fine White Port is a fresh, floral and lightly sweet white Port from the world’s oldest Port house, founded in 1638. Bottled at ~20% ABV, it offers citrus, honeyed fruit and gentle almond notes with crisp acidity and smooth texture.
Beautifully versatile, it can be served chilled, over ice, or mixed in a refreshing Port & Tonic. Elegant, approachable and perfect for warm-weather drinking, this is one of the finest examples of classic white Port craftsmanship from the historic Kopke cellars.
Kopke Fine White Port is a fresh, versatile and lightly sweet style of Port that showcases bright fruit and subtle honeyed richness. Unlike ruby or tawny styles, white Port is made from native white grapes and offers a refreshing, aromatic profile that can be enjoyed chilled, over ice, or mixed into cocktails.
Kopke — the oldest Port house, founded in 1638 — is especially respected for white Port, having pioneered its style centuries ago. Their Fine White balances floral aromatics, stone fruit, citrus peel and gentle nutty notes, making it both approachable and surprisingly refined.
Ideal as a summer aperitif, in a Port & Tonic, or paired with cheese, fruit and desserts.
Kopke is the oldest Port wine producer in existence, established by Nicolau Kopkë in 1638 when he began shipping Portuguese wines to Northern Europe. Over nearly four centuries, the Kopke name has become synonymous with craftsmanship, cask ageing and world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley’s steep vineyards and centuries-old cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia provide ideal conditions for white Port production — cool maturation, gentle oxidation and preservation of fresh fruit style. Kopke’s white Ports are known for their delicate balance of sweetness, aromatics and crisp acidity.
