Description
2024 Vintage Port – Kopke
About En Primeur
Offered en primeur, this wine is available to secure now while still maturing at the estate, ahead of its official release. Purchasing at this stage provides early access to a fully declared vintage at a favourable price, with the wine shipped once it is ready for delivery.
In Bond (IB): Wine stored in a bonded warehouse before UK duty and VAT have been paid. These taxes are only payable when the wine is withdrawn, making IB purchases more cash-efficient and ideal for cellaring or trading.
A newly declared Vintage Port from one of the Douro’s most historic houses, the 2024 release forms part of a fully declared vintage, marking a significant year for the region and a return to a classic declaration style.
Tasting Note
Deep and intensely coloured, the nose shows vibrant blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, lifted by floral notes of violets and hints of dark chocolate and spice. The palate is powerful yet finely balanced, with concentrated dark fruit framed by firm, ripe tannins and fresh acidity. Layers of cassis, liquorice and subtle minerality build towards a long, structured finish, promising excellent development in bottle.
Vintage
The 2024 vintage has been widely declared across the Douro, confirming it as a year of real significance. Conditions through the growing season delivered excellent fruit quality, with both ripeness and freshness retained. The resulting wines show classic structure, depth and definition, with the balance required for long-term ageing. Fully declared vintages remain relatively rare, reinforcing the collectability and long-term appeal of wines from this year.
Serving
Best served at 16–18°C. While approachable in youth with careful decanting, this wine is built for extended cellaring and will reward patience over the coming decades.
Summary
A structured and age-worthy Vintage Port from a fully declared year, offering depth, balance and excellent long-term potential. An outstanding choice for collectors or as a 2024 anniversary wine designed to evolve for generations.
Condition
This wine is offered En Primeur, meaning you are purchasing it early, before it is released for general sale. By securing your allocation now, you guarantee access to the vintage, with delivery at a later date once the wine has been bottled and shipped to the UK. The price shown is In Bond, which means it excludes UK alcohol duty and VAT. These taxes will become payable when the wine is withdrawn from bond, or if it is delivered for home consumption.
