About this Item
Limited Release Port 1948
1 (1 x 1) 750ml
Bottled before the introduction of SAWIS certification and the legal requirement to declare alcohol content. This wine stands as a rare testament to an earlier chapter in South African winemaking history.
The KWV 1948 Limited Release Port is a beautifully matured example of a South African fortified wine. Styled as a Cape Tawny. This Port-style wine reveals a deep, ambered complexity, layered with notes of caramelised sugar, roasted hazelnuts, and sun-dried raisins, finishing with a silken, enduring warmth that speaks to both its age and craftsmanship.
