Krohn Quinta do Retiro Novo 2000

Notes - 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. The Quinta do Retiro Novo estate in Sarzedinho, in the Rio Torto valley, is all A grade vineyard. Vinification takes place here, with some of the top wines still being trodden by foot. Vintage 2000 Universally declared, 2000 is viewed to be an extremely good, perhaps even great vintage. The Quinta do Retiro Novo 2000 is immense, dense and powerful with evident tannic structure, spicy red fruit and great power on the palate and finish. Super ripe, forward style for the long term. “Wiese and Krohn in the Rio Torto is on Terroir every bit as ‘A’ class as Quinta do Noval yet all on a much smaller scale… complexity is the name of the game.” Susan Keevil, Decanter Magazine.
