Every fine wine tells a story. But Kopke's Colheita vintage port tells a particularly unique story. To taste a wine is to taste history and in this case the 1957 Colheita means remembering a remarkable event – the establishment of HKU SPACE, formerly known as the Department of Extra-Mural Studies (DEMS) of the University of Hong Kong.

Port was chosen in recognition of part of our history. Portuguese Language and Culture were among the first courses ever offered at the DEMS. The Portuguese Club Lusitano, was also one of our earliest learning centre outside the HKU campus. |
Each bottle is specially laser engraved with ‘HKU SPACE 60th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION’. |
The wine is award-winning and ex-chateau which means that the wine has been directly bottled from the barrels at the chateau, thus ensuring minimal disturbance to the wine’s quality. |

Name: Kopke Colheita Port 1957 Tasting notes: Amber colour with bright golden hues. Complex and delicate on the nose, it reveals resin-like aromas well combined with notes of almond, honey and candied orange peel. Sweet, elegant and balanced on the palate, nicely wrapped in hints of caramel. A long and enduring finish.
