Product details
Croft is one of the oldest Port wine producing houses. It was founded more than four centuries ago, in 1588. It owns Quinta da Roêda, often referred to as the jewel of the Douro Valley vineyards. This famous estate produces round, ripe and powerfully fruity wines, which form the essence of Croft's vintage Port blends. Croft has remained faithful to its distinctive style of vintage Port, which is characterized by powerful, ripe fruit and a round, delicious palate. With age, Croft vintages develop great aromatic complexity and a smooth, velvety texture. However, this smooth and round palate is deceiving, as it hides the enormous energy and aging potential that Croft's vintage Ports possess.
Grape Varieties:
Tinta Roriz,Touriga Franca,Touriga Nacional
Tasting Notes:
Core of intense ruby colour with bright purple maple. The nose displays a fruity of ripe strawberries and black currant and resinous notes of ebony and eucalyptus that are the essence of the Croft style. The palate opens with a wave of delicious wild fruit flavours and is supported by a dense web of tightly tannins. Although the wine exhibits some of the full and voluptuous character of previous Croft vintages, the dominant is in symmetry and finesse. The characteristic exuberant fruit and the heady aromas of aromatic herbs are carefully integrated, making this wine a classic in its proportions. An elegant and fragrant Vintage Port, perfectly balanced between opulence and containment.
