NEW PORTS & WINES FALL 2009

From the Porto e Douro Wine Region

Kopke Rosé 12/500 – Full of dimension, this smooth-drinking Rosé has a light garnet color, with an aromatic nose of fragrant old roses and white peaches. The soft palate has voluptuous notes of tangy strawberries and pomegranate rounded by sweet cherries, followed by a long, haunting berry finish.

Kopke 1994 Vintage Port 12/375 – Wineworth discovered a small amount of this hard-to-find, legendary year in Kopke’s cellars in 375ml bottles, perfect for drinking the same day opened by two to four people to avoid any loss through air shock.  “ Very balanced on the palate, full and rounded.  A very good-plus vintage from Kopke’s famous Quinta São Luiz.” – João Paulo Martins Tasting Panel.  Kopke’s vintage ports benefit from its Font Santana vineyard of 100-year old Touriga Nacional low-yield vines delivering very high quality grapes. Rich flavors combine a touch of pepper with rich Arabian coffee finishing with dark plum and walnuts.

Kopke 10 Year Old White 6/750 – 12/375 – Cool, light-amber color, this unique white “tawny” port derives from the traditional white grapes of the Porto e Douro region, including Arinto, Viosinho, Gouveio and Malvasia Fina. Starting with aromas of a Pear Clafouti and burnt sugar, this elegant port delivers luscious flavors of Japanese pear-apple, with accents of hazelnut, nutmeg and orange zest. The lingering grapefruit finish provides the perfect balance for the sweetness.

Kopke 1982 Colheita 12/500 - in Special Edition Bottle Virginia bottle – Imperial topaz glints of fire orange on amber are followed by a spicy floral nose with flavors of citrus and macaroons and a lingering finish of dried figs and orange peel.

This unique bottle packaging makes a wonderful gift of tawny port for any occasion!

1991 Colheita Dona Matilde 6/750 – 12/375 – Continuing our supply of the popular 1991 Colheita that had been sold out for some time, Wineworth has found an exceptional follow-on with the Dona Matilde, produced and bottled by ANDRESEN, one of the finest, family-owned Port Houses in Portugal. Full-bore tawny Colheitas in the 15 to 20 year development and value range are becoming the rarest of all tawny ports to find. Dark amber color leads to an inviting aroma of caramel, coffee and hazelnuts with a note of currants. The deep flavor boasts of toffee, maple syrup and just a hint of almonds and hazelnuts. The long smokey, maple finish seems to linger forever.

Dona Matilde Douro DOC 2007 Vinho Branco, Dry White Wine  12/750 – Light straw in color, Dona Matllde has an intense aroma of honeydew melon with undertones of lemon verbena. The local white grape varietals, grown at the 800-1000-ft level of the Douro Valley slopes, include Arinto, Viosinho, Rabigato and Verdelho. The citrus flavor has a clean vivacity enriched by ripe pear and boysenberry notes, leading to a persistent finish accented by ruby grapefruit. One of the best of the exceptional ’97 Vintage whites.
