KrohnLateBottledVintagePort

Krohn Late Bottled Vintage Port comes from a third generation Portuguese family owned winery based in the Rio Torto Valley. This unfiltered Krohn late bottled vintage port has a rich concentration of fruit and a lingering sweet finish.

Late Bottled Vintage Ports are an increasingly popular style, and this, unfiltered, wine from Krohn is no exception. LBVs are produced from just a single year’s crop (but not every year), and with the vintage specified on the bottle, each LBV will express the particular characteristics of that vintage.

Wiese & Krohn was founded in 1865 by two Norwegians – Theodor Wiese and Dankert Krohn. Long renowned for the quality of their sublime Colheitas (single vintage tawnies), they produce a remarkably complete range for a small house and each wine excels in its category. The Quinta do Retiro Novo estate in Sarzedinho, in the Rio Torto valley, is all A grade vineyard. Vinification takes place here, with some of the top wines still being trodden by foot. Since 2013 Krohn has been part of the Fladgate Partnership – alongside Taylor’s, Fonseca and Croft.
