Four different stamps were used in each release, with only 5 000 bottles of each made available. This is another legendary SA wine. A record R68 000 was paid for a single case of 6 x 750 ml bottles of Monis Collectors Port 1948, at the 2011 Nederburg Auction.

Critics Ratings

'More defined, fresh and detailed than the KWV, it astounded us with waves of complexity wafting from the glass: candied figs, melon rind, nuts, molasses and a touch of cold coffee. The palate is rich, but not sticky while the finish is deep, spicy and delicious! 'Roland Peens, 96/100 - (August 2015)

'Savoury and haunting smoky and rich. Chewy tannins, with sweet chocolate and plums in a defined, beguiling and spicy. A great bottle with decades of life ahead. ' - Roland Peens, 96/100 (October 2018)

'Excellent, old wood-aged Port, vintage-dated 1948, of which three issues have been made. Their labels reproduce rare old South African stamps.'- Dave Hughes, Wine Buyer's Guide 1993 edition. 4*
