Established in 1638 by Nicolau Kopke and his son Cristiano, who came to Portugal as representatives of the Hanseatic League. The House is run by the  family, obtaining an excellent reputation for its wines.

Picking by hand is at the optimum time, following with destemming, crushing and eventually converting into  through a process of careful maceration. This extracts their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation.

This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature until it reaches the right degree of sweetness (baum). Then introducing grape brandy to create the final .

Made by blending wines of different harvests, with different levels of maturation in stainless steel and wood for a minimum of 3 years, the result is a rich and aromatic wine, with the perfect level of sweetness.
