Wine vintage rating 1957
The 1957 wine year - first dry in the spring, then frost, a cool August and a hot September - October for the harvest. 1957 - How should the vintage be rated? First of all: the year 1957 is now very, very long ago. It depends on the state of preservation of each individual bottle. It is therefore of no use if we know that this and that region and this and that winery were very good in 1957 if the bottle was poorly stored and comes to us in a pitiful condition. We only offer you really good bottles.
In principle, it must also be a high-quality 1957 wine so that it can even be said to have storability. A winery with a long famous history, with excellent soil, so a classic old value is suitable. It should be a wine that is still important today.
Weather in the year 1957
Good filling levels, good wine quality
Of course, the good condition of a wine from an old vintage depends on excellent storage. Above all, the wine must not have frequently changed cellars. Ideally, the wine will have rested in one and the same wine cellar.
But also the cork that sits in each individual bottle is very important. A perfect cork has few pores and keeps the wine stable. If an inferior cork happens to have been used in a bottle, the porous surface will begin to soak up wine and allow micro-quantities of the liquid to evaporate over the decades. Poor fill levels are the result.
A poor fill level therefore also indicates a high risk that the wine bottle could soon begin to leak.
The fill levels explained:
In the bottle neck (high fill to base neck) about 2 cm is perfect for wines.
Top and upper shoulder, ([very] top shoulder), approx. 3 cm is very good for very old wines.
Medium shoulder (mid shoulder), about 4 cm is only acceptable for rare top wines and in individual cases.
Everything below the red line should not be offered any more.

The classical dry red wine comes from the Barolo DOC in Northern Italy, the most important wine region of Piedmont. Prior to the mid-19th century, Barolo was a sweet wine. The fact that the Nebbiolo grape ripens late in October meant that temperatures would be steadily dropping by harvest. By November and December, temperatures in the Piedmont region would be cold enough to halt fermentation, leaving a significant amount of residual sugar left in the wine. In the mid-19th century the French enologist Louis Oudart improve the winemaking techniques of the local producers. Using techniques focusing on improving the hygiene of the cellar, Oudart was able to ferment the Nebbiolo must completely dry, making the first modern Barolo. This new, dry red wine soon became a favorite among the nobility of Turin and the ruling House of Savoy, giving rise to the popular description of Barolo as the wine of kings, the king of wines.

The CĂ´te d'Or has one part in the south with the CĂ´te de Beaune and one in the north with the CĂ´te de Nuits. It runs along the fault of the limestone hills of Burgundy and the trench of the SaĂ´ne. The limestone of this region comes from the Middle Jurassic and the Upper Jurassic. The vineyards are located on the south-east facing slopes between 150 and 400 metres above sea level. A layer of marl lies above a subsoil of Jurassic limestone. Erosion is a decisive element for the quality of the individual plots (climats). The best sites are found in the upper part of the vineyards on the edge of the limestone.

Kopke is one of the most important port wine houses. The 1957 port matured in wooden barrels and was bottled in 1996 - as is usual with trustworthy producers, this information is also on the label.
Port wine is a sweet wine that comes exclusively from the Douro Valley. The name comes from the port city of Porto, from which the port has been shipped mainly to England since the end of the 17th century.
In the 17th century, the idea of ​​stopping wine fermentation by adding 80% wine distillate was developed. As a result, the sugar was not fermented any further and the wine retained its sweetness. This so-called fortification means that port wine has an alcohol content of between 19 and 22 percent by volume and lasts longer.
After a good two years of storage in a large barrel under airtight conditions, the Tawny Port is transferred to a small wooden barrel, the Pipa, with a capacity of 550 liters. Here it breathes (oxidizes) more and changes its color to tawny. Contact with the wood also changes the taste towards aromas of nuts, dried fruits etc. Standard Tawnys are filtered and bottled after 6-7 years.
Port wine is usually available as a non-vintage fortified wine. Only exceptionally good vintages such as 1957 are declared as a port wine vintage and allow the production of a tawny port or even a vintage port, i.e. a vintage port wine.
