Our parent company, The Fladgate Partnership, today acquired the family owned Port firm of Wiese & Krohn, adding another distinguished Port house to its portfolio of world renowned Port brands.
Wiese & Krohn was founded in 1865 by two Norwegian entrepreneurs and is the owner of Quinta do Retiro Novo, an exceptionally fine grade A vineyard in the Rio Torto valley. Wiese & Krohn is a specialist in colheitas, or single harvest tawny Ports, and its acquisition further strengthens The Fladgate Partnership’s position as the leading producer of aged tawny Ports.
Commenting on the purchase, The Fladgate Partnership’s CEO, Adrian Bridge, commented: "It is our view that the future of quality Port is very strong. The Fladgate Partnership is already responsible for over one third of all quality Ports produced by the industry, placing it in a uniquely favourable position to benefit from future growth in demand for the premium Port.”
