Wiese and Krohn was founded in 1865 by two young Norwegians, Theodor Wiese & Dankert Krohn. Edmundo Falcão Carneiro acquired the company in the 1930s and Wiese & Krohn is now run by the second and third generations of the Falcão Carneiro family. Its stocks of Port reach over 5 million litres and are stored in six cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia and one cellar in the Douro Region.
Colheita (or Reserva) Ports are single year Ports of a high quality level which have to be matured in wood for at least seven years. Normally they are bottled just before they leave Krohn's cellars, which may happen much later than the 7th year of age. Grape varieties - Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz.
Best enjoyed after a meal with creamy cheeses like Brie and Camembert from France or Serra from Portugal. Take it also with grilled chestnuts or crème brulé.
