About this Item

1948 Limited Release Port

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 1948 received many accolades in its early life, but was awarded the Trophy for Best Museum Class Cape Port at the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show Awards 2016.

Critics Ratings

'Higgo Jacobs remarked on how special a week it had been for us having tasted and drank the 1948 on 3 occasions as part of the leadup to the 2015 Nederburg Auction. All 3 bottles were beautiful – composed, warming and complex, with the Tawny hues balanced by red fruits, spicy notes and raisin sweetness. It has terrific freshness and structure for decade more cellaring.' - Roland Peens, 95/100 (August 2015)
