Details
A classic Late Bottled Vintage port from the ever-impressive team at Krohn. This deliciously sweet dessert wine displays notes of deep blackcurrant and blueberries that leap from the glass. This is vibrant and stunning, a wine that whisks you away and warms you up on a cold evening. Full-bodied and rich, LBV's don't get much better than this stunner!

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 acquisition by the Fladgate Partnership, who also own Taylor's Port, as well as Croft and Fonseca port houses.

Dessert lovers will adore pairing this wine with sweet treats featuring stewed apple and berries, peanut butter, and anything featuring honey and nuts.
