Porto Kopke since 1638

from Wineworth, sole USA Importer

AS THE FIRST AND OLDEST PORT HOUSE, KOPKE DEFINES EXPERTISE AND QUALITY

In 1638 the German diplomat Cristiano Kopke founded the Douro wine shipping company that became universally recognized as the first Port house in Port wine history. In 2011 Porto Kopke will celebrate 373 years of continuous production of fine porto with grapes from its famous Quinta São Luiz with its many gold-medal winning vintages. However, it wasn’t until 1675 that a shipment from the Douro to Holland was first called “Porto” and in 1678 that the Oporto customs office registered its first shipment of Porto to England.
