Krohn Colheita Ports


This is a bottle of Krohn Colheita 1961; a 1966 Colheita from the same Port House featured in the Two Century Wine Dinner in 2006, but I had not blogged about it or Krohn until now. Krohn (originally Wiese and Krohn) is a Port House originally founded in 1865 by two Norwegians, but after some years, Wiese sold his portion to Krohn who carried on (with Wiese under his employ) expanding the business of the firm. In the late 1930s, Edmundo Falcao Caneiro bought out the company for which he had been working since 1910, and it still remains in his family today. Although the firm produces the full range of ports (except 40 year old wood ports), it is the colheitas for which Krohn is most appreciated.
