Krohn Vintage 2016 Port
75cl | 20%
Krohn Vintage 2016 Port is produced by the renowned Port house Weise & Krohn, founded in 1865 in the Douro Valley of Portugal. Known for their complex, richly flavoured ports, Weise & Krohn use only the best grapes from the finest vineyards in the Douro. The hot, dry climate and steep, rocky slopes produce grapes perfect for vintage Port production.
Viticulture and Production
The grapes for Krohn Vintage 2016 Port are hand-picked and foot-trodden in traditional stone lagares. This gentle crushing method ensures the grapes stay intact, resulting in a more concentrated and complex wine. Fermentation is halted by fortification with grape brandy, leaving high levels of residual sugar and richness. Krohn Vintage 2016 Port is bottle-aged for a minimum of two years before release.
Tasting Notes
Displaying a deep ruby colour, Krohn Vintage 2016 Port opens with intense aromas of black cherry, plum and spice.
On the palate, flavours of dark fruits and chocolate predominate, with hints of dried figs and coffee.
Full-bodied and velvety smooth, this port boasts round, silky tannins and a lingering finish of fruit, spice and subtle oak notes from barrel aging.
With its complex flavours and elegant style, Krohn Vintage 2016 Port is a stunning example of the quality ports that Weise & Krohn are renowned for producing. This vintage port is perfect for special occasions or as an elegant sipping wine anytime.
