About this Item

Ruby Port, 1949
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

KWV has been a traditional mainstay of the South African wine scene for decades. Founded in the same year Nelson Mandela was born, KWV has seen how the SA wine industry has changed over the years.

The KWV ports from the 20s, 30s and 40s have aged beautifully.

Critics Ratings

‘This is an excellent matured and balanced fortified wine, golden-green in colour. The wine shows aromas of caramel, hazel nuts, and potpourri on the nose. The palate is creamy but still lively with nuances of raisins. The delicate, soft tannin structure leaves this wine with a luscious, smooth finish. Notably, this wine was bottled prior to the introduction of SAWIS certification and mandatory declaration of alcohol.’ - KWV

Provenance
