Quinta de São Luiz is part of the famous port house Kopke. They saw great potential in the terroir and the centuries-old vineyards. São Luiz is located in the heart of the Douro region on the left bank of the river between Régua and Pinhão. Due to the construction of the Bagaúste Dam in the 1970s, the water level rose so much that Quinta de São Luiz lost part of its land. To solve this, they bought several Quintas in the region to continue their dream. All with A status and ranging in age from 1972 to 1987. São Luiz currently manages 125 hectares of vineyards. The combination of ultra-modern technology in the winery and our own vineyards guarantee beautiful wines.

The Sao Luiz Rreserva is a blend of the Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz Portugal. The grapes are harvested manually in mid-September. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel barrels for 12 days, followed by a special maceration for 12 days. Part of the malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden barrels. The wine matures further in new and old French oak barrels of 225 liters for 14 months. This wine is velvety soft, with ripe red and dark fruit, herbs and a nice mineral touch. Ideal with game, red meat and aged cheeses.

FACT: For years the tradition at Quinta de São Luiz was to paint the stone wall white. This piece of history is cherished and that is why the white wall appears on the labels of São Luiz wines. A fusion of the past and contemporary wines.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze fluweelzachte Douro-rood van Kopke toont rijp rood en donker fruit, subtiele kruiden, zachte tannines en een verfijnde minerale toets die de Touriga Nacional en Tinta Roriz mooi samensmelt. Daardoor krijgt hij genoeg structuur en aromatische diepte om tegen de rijkdom van rundvlees, lam, wild en oude kazen op te boksen; de fruitigheid snijdt door vetheid terwijl de kruiden en houtnuances harmoniëren met hartige smaken. Kies bij rund en lam voor langzaam gegaard of geroosterd vlees met rozemarijn en knoflook, bij wild voor gebraden of stoofbereidingen met bessencompote en bij oude kazen serveer de wijn op kamertemperatuur om de tonen volledig tot hun recht te laten komen.

Kopke is the world's oldest port house. This port house was founded in 1638 by Cristiano Köpke. This port house specializes in Tawny port and in particular the old Tawny port (the so-called Colheitas). The Colheita port is lighter than a Vintage port and fits many more occasions and meals than a Vintage port. A Colheita is characterized by the brown / almond color, the smell of roasted nuts, raisins and dried fruit. The older the Colheita, the more complex it becomes. 80% of the port made at Kopke is Tawny port. This port house has Tawny port of more than 100 years old.
