Production

Produced from the indigenous varieties Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz. The vines are 30-40 years old, cultivated in the Rio Torto valley in schist soils. The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and lightly crushed - then fermented in stainless steel with regular pumping over and temperature control, for around 7 days. Part of the wine is aged in used French oak barrels for 6 months.

Tasting notes

Aromas of berry fruit and a hint of spice. Raspberry and cherry characters on the palate, balanced by supple tannins and bright acidity.

    Meet the Producer

    Wiese & Krohn was founded in 1865 by two Norwegians - Theodor Wiese and Dankert Krohn - shipping initially to Scandinavia and Germany. In the century and a half since its foundation, Krohn has built up an outstanding reputation. 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. Much of the secret lies in the high quality of their vineyards - the magical combination of terroir, locality, aspect, incline and low-yielding vines. Their Quinta do Retiro Novo estate in Sarzedinho, in the Rio Torto valley (where vinification takes place), is all A grade vineyard. Indeed Krohn only work with grapes from A-graded vineyards across all of their ports, and their top wines are still trodden by foot.
