Krohn Ruby Port

A young port with a distinctive character, this Krohn Ambassador Ruby Port. This Krohn Ambassador Ruby Port is a young blended port that is slowly aged. This rather full-bodied ruby-red port has a stylish, fruity nose full of intense and concentrated aromas of blackcurrant and cherry. It is full-bodied and robust. It has a fresh, youthful, and fruity flavor, is relatively sweet, and has less tannin than other ports. Therefore, despite its ruby ​​color, it is considered a light port. The wine has good weight and structure with a fine finish. The Krohn Port House was founded in 1865 by the young Norwegians Theodor Wiese and Dankert Krohn. Several generations of the Portuguese Carneiro family managed the company, but in 2012, no successor was found within the family. The company was therefore transferred to the Portuguese family business The Fladgate. Krohn is one of the few independent family businesses remaining in the city of Porto and is particularly known for its Colheita and Vintage Port.

Perfect conditions for port

And Oporto is precisely the town that immediately comes to mind when we think of port. This region is characterized by steep banks with difficult-to-reach terraces along the river. The vines are planted on these banks, where they enjoy the radiant sun. This region experiences very hot, dry summers and freezing, wet winters. The soil is formed by rock-hard, impermeable granite and slate. Krohn Ruby Port is made from wines aged for three years in large wooden barrels, where they soften and develop without losing their fresh, intensely fruity character and deep ruby ​​color. This is a fruity wine with a beautiful red color that should be consumed relatively young to maintain its freshness. This wine is ready to drink and does not need to be decanted. The bottle should be stored upright, protected from light, at a cool, constant temperature.
