Details
This sticky-sweet vintage port has it all. Expect notes of figs, raisins and prunes across the nose and the palate with intense notes of baked nuts and Christmas pudding. Lusciously sweet, this is the perfect sipper for the cooler months. This wine has a lovely freshness to boot, with subtle notes of warm spice coming through on the finish. Indulgent.
Company founders Theodor Wiese and Dankert Krohn founded Krohn in 1865 and since then, Krohn has been considered amongst the Douro's elite port producers. Each port producer tends to have its speciality, and Krohn's stellar reputation is undoubtedly intrinsically linked to their cask-aged ports - Tawny styles. There are few closer ties to the UK wine trade than the producers of port wine, however, naturally, Krohn was initially set up as an export partner for Germany and Scandinavia, in fact, Theodor Wiese sold his stake in the business to his partner and later became a sales ambassador for the company in the north, taking the company to another level of success. Krohn is famous in particular for its legendary 1863 Colheita Tawny Port. This old wine was eventually released onto the market in 2013, coinciding with the company's accisition by the Fladgate Partnership, who also own Taylor's Port, as well as Croft and Fonseca port houses.

Pairing guide
Krohn's Port has something of a cult status among diehard lovers of Portugal’s premier fortified wine, and this beautiful vintage tawny release is going to be a real winner when it comes to dinner parties and relaxed dining alike. It pairs especially well with blue cheese, pate, roasted nuts and charcuterie, and combinations of dried fruits and cheese will work brilliantly. You could opt for a sweet pairing too; apple pie, fruit cake, tarte tatin and creme brulee will all be amazing with this one!
