Product details
Vintage Ports come from a single harvest and have exceptional organoleptic characteristics, showing a dark red colour, a great structure and intense fruity aromas and flavours. They are bottled two years after the harvest and in most cases spend many years maturing in the bottle. Through this ageing process Vintage Ports are kept away from the influence of the atmosphere, which makes them loose their colour very slowly and retain their typical fruitness. In order to maintain richness and power they are neither fined nor filtered, therefore throwing a large amount of sediment as they mature.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Normally known for relatively soft vintages, Wiese & Krohn have changed style with this 2003. This Port is firm, solid with intense fruits, black figs and fine tannins. It should have a good, medium-term future.
Store and Serve Advices:
It should be decanted before being served. Once opened, a Vintage bottle should be drunk the same day to keep the exceptional quality untouched.
Food Pairing:
Vintage Ports are after meal drinks. Take them with cheese like Stilton or Gorgonzola. But you can also incorporate them into a meal, combining for instance a Steak au Poivre with a young Vintage.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
