A Touriga Nacional-based blend of traditional Douro red varieties, grown on schist-sandstone soils at 600 meters of elevation • Tawny port is a style marked by the oxidative characteristics of long aging in oak barrels • Casks of different years are then blended to achieve the desired age character – in Kopke’s case, the age on the label is the average age of all the wines in the blend • Wines labeled with average age of the blend (40 year) are commonly referred to as “Statement of Age” Tawny.
