It’s not often that one can save 40% on a vintage Port that was already a good value at its original price. When a small Port producer has to compete against the likes of the Symington Family (Dow’s, Graham’s, Quinta do Vesuvio, Smith Woodhouse, Cockburn’s, and Warre’s) it is hard to make headway (even with lower pricing) in the US market.
Quinta do Retiro Novo is in Sarzedinho, a small village in the Rio Torto valley. The secret to the superlative quality of Krohn’s Ports is a willingness to embrace traditional and modern winemaking techniques that is, traditional foot crushing in stone lagares as well as sophisticated robot crushing to achieve the utmost quality. The Quinta achieves more than 1200 points in the local Port classification - which takes into account grape varieties, vine age, density and other factors - to sit in the elite Class A of Port estates.
