{"product_id":"krohnlatebottledvintage-57952","title":"KrohnLateBottledVintage","description":"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;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.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Deep ruby colour with spicy black fruit aromas. The palate has vibrant plum and blackberry characters layered with more spice, fresh acidity and firm tannins. A full and rich style with impressive length.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Wiese \u0026amp; 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. Since 2013 Krohn has been part of the Fladgate Partnership – alongside Taylor’s, Fonseca and Croft.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Traditional Port grapes are sourced from Krohn’s Quinta do Retiro Novo estate, and from long-standing relationships with neighbouring growers. After fermentation the wine is aged in barrel for 4-6 years before bottling. Krohn’s LBV Ports are neither fined nor filtered and may thus throw a sediment. We recommend to decant them before serving.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Perfect with blue cheeses, a decent mature cheddar or a slab of dark chocolate.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135469772982,"sku":"57952","price":6.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/krohnlatebottledvintage_57952_01_aba64859_67bf8032-7fb4-44e1-94ef-cb3c302dec2e.jpg?v=1779268641","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/krohnlatebottledvintage-57952","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
