About this wine
Krohn Ruby Port is the accessible entry point to the exceptional range from Wiese & Krohn, one of the Douro Valley's most respected historic Port houses, founded in 1865 by two Norwegian visionaries—Theodor Wiese and Dankert Krohn.

This is a mature and versatile Port with character that belies its approachable price point, making it ideal for trade customers seeking quality without compromise.
Ruby Port is one of the most popular styles of Port, loved for its vibrant fruit character and immediate drinkability. Unlike Vintage Port, which requires years of cellaring, or LBV Ports from single exceptional years, Ruby Port is designed to be enjoyed young and fresh. It's the perfect introduction to the world of Port, or a reliable everyday choice for Port lovers.
