A mais antiga casa de vinho do Porto apresenta um alargado e incomparável espólio de vinhos antigos e raros. Produzidos com paixão e segundo métodos ancestrais, a missão da Kopke transcende a mera criação de vinhos de qualidade superior e singulares.
Por isso, simbolizam também o respeito pelas raízes, pelas origens e pelo legado que lhes foi confiado.
De um terroir que se sabe duro, nasce o conhecimento que está conservado dentro de cada casco, que foi preservado e evoluindo, com a mestria incomparável desta reconhecida casa, ao longo de 385 anos. Para comemorar este longo percurso, é agora lançada uma coleção numerada e limitada a 385 unidades de uma edição de vinhos em forma de livraria, que permite folhear e absorver todo o potencial de uma região e de uma marca, aliado ao saber-fazer adquirido ao longo de quase quatro séculos, por quem trabalha esta arte com genuína consideração por tudo o que ela envolve, move e transforma.

Apresentamos a edição The Library Collection composta por um Very Very Old Tawny, um Vermute e um Quinado, elaborados no início do século XX, cuidadosamente selecionados, para homenagear o legado desta marca.
Uma surpreendente coleção de três diferenciados néctares, com origem na categoria de vinho do Porto, que envelheceram nas nossas caves de Vila Nova de Gaia, lado a lado, em barricas de 400 litros.

VERY VERY OLD PORT

A livraria de vinhos muito velhos Kopke inclui, entre várias referências raras, este Very Very Old Tawny, elaborado com vinhos do início do século XX.

Este vinho apresenta uma tonalidade escura, com reflexos esverdeados, que revela tratar-se de um vinho do Porto muito velho. No nariz expressivo e intenso sobressaem camadas de aromas e sabores adquiridos nos longos anos de envelhecimento em pipas nas caves da Kopke. Um vinho cheio de carácter, onde as notas balsâmicas envolvidas em aromas como café, cerejas brancas e aromas mais doces como o melaço, a baunilha e as notas de madeira tornam o bouquet deste vinho único. Na boca é um vinho volumoso e cheio de carácter, onde as notas mais meladas se conjugam na perfeição com notas de especiaria e frutos secos com um toque salino e resinoso que torna o final de boca irrepreensível, onde todos os componentes estão bem integrados e uma acidez assertiva que dá ao vinho uma frescura irrepreensível, inerente aos vinhos velhos da marca Kopke.

Tons of info!
Format: Paperback
If one wanted to be a real tracker, this book has everything needed. I just want to be able to recognize the local wildlife tracks. But having all the rest of the info is nice, and it's easy to take what I want. The book is well organized. Fantastic pictures, loads of information. It's interesting too, to see just how much knowledge goes into figuring out not only what animal it is, but what sex, age, gait, etc it is. This is an awesome book.

Caveats for the professional tracker
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This is a most excellent resource, arguably the best single tracking book that exists (i would argue so, if i had to pick one! And i recommend this book often). However, if you are in a professional field where this legally matters (EIS or ESA decisions on wolverine/fisher/lynx, etc.), take heed: the authors’ methods of measuring tracks are confusing (i.e. - where is the line between substrate/mammal family to determine when claws or ‘posterior’ pads are or are not used in measuring tracks? ) Also, the claim that “an individual animal can show incredible variation in track size” (p.57) is very misleading… Foot size of an individual animal from birth to adult will obviously change, but will not change in a day for the same-aged individual animal regardless of whether it walks in mud or atop rock. The animal’s foot does not change in size, but its track might appear to. This perceived “change” could be easily avoided by using minimum outline measurements (which are not discussed in this book, but can be found in the work by J. Halfpenny and others). I understand their reasons, but please do not refer to this book for legally defensible measuring techniques of rare species!!!! Also please disregard the negative reviewer who said “it’s a very Mythological Approach to how animals move and walk (jsopel),”- they clearly don’t know what that word means… All in all a well-researched and fantastic book that comes from ample and legitimate experience. A great book and happy tracking!

Good but index needs improvement
Format: Paperback
This is a good, comprehensive guide to tracks and sign. However, there is no index of where to find each family, so in order to find a species you have to flip through the entire book looking for the right page. This makes it annoying to use if you are trying to look up information on a particular species or family.

This is a very useful field manual for those interested in detailed traking methodology.
Format: Paperback
I spent many years as interpreter and ranger for the Colorado State Park System, now called CPW—Colorado Parks and Wildlife. We were annually tasked with surveying a given species' presence, density, and range in the park system and surrounding areas. Detailed field manuals were critical to the accuracy of our work, and HOW I WISH I HAD THIS BOOK DURING THAT PART OF MY CAREER. There are few other books I've come across providing detailed, yet very accessible information on how trail sign reflects animal behavior across different conditions, landscapes, and seasons (both weather seasons and mating seasons). One particular aspect of this book I found significantly intriguing was the section on predation—how does a mountain lion take down a mule deer vs. how wolves bring one down. The locations on a prey animal where a certain predator is most likely to attack, showing illustrations, is a remarkable piece of work, and there authors are clearly masters of interpreting tracks and sign! If you want learn about how mammals behave in their native environment, adding this book to your field manual packet will greatly expand your horizons! Busy it, read it, and get outside! Thank you Mr. Elbroch and Mr. McFarland for adding to the wildlife canon!
