Port shippers since 1865
Wiese & Krohn was founded in 1865 by two young Norwegians cousins, Theodor Wiese and Dankert Krohn.
Since then, the firm has built up an outstanding reputation for its old cask-aged Ports, in particular its ‘Colheitas’ or single harvest tawnies, where it holds reserves of rare wines from the 19th century.
Krohn is also noted for its finely-constituted Vintage Ports sourced from its flagship Douro property, Quinta do Retiro Novo, in the Rio Torto Valley.
David Baverstock
Born in Australia, David has more than 40 years of experience. His career in Portugal began not far from Quinta do Retiro Novo, in the Douro valley before heading south to the Alentejo.
It is between the vineyard, the cellar and the tennis courts that he finds his joy.
There is nothing more exciting than being surprised by a wine at the table.
