Croft

Croft's, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of port, boasts a long and illustrious history dating back to 1588. With centuries of experience and an unwavering commitment to quality, Croft's has solidified its position as one of the most esteemed port producers in the Douro Valley. Their range of port wines showcases the unique character and terroir of this prestigious wine region.


At the heart of Croft's portfolio is their Vintage Port, a wine produced in exceptional years from carefully selected grapes. These Vintage Ports embody the essence of craftsmanship and aging potential, with intense flavours, aromatic complexity, and a remarkable ability to evolve and improve over time. Croft's Vintage Ports are sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike, offering a truly exceptional drinking experience.


Another standout offering from Croft's is their Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port. Crafted from a single vintage and aged in oak casks, LBV Ports offer a harmonious balance of rich flavours, velvety textures, and vibrant fruitiness. Croft's LBV Ports are known for their accessibility and approachability, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a taste of the Douro Valley's finest.


In addition to their Vintage and LBV Ports, Croft's also produces exceptional Tawny Ports. These ports undergo extended aging in oak barrels, resulting in a rich amber hue and a remarkable array of flavours, ranging from dried fruits and nuts to delicate hints of spice. Croft's Tawny Ports offer a captivating drinking experience that showcases the art of blending and aging.


As an expert, you understand that Croft's is not the sole producer of outstanding port wines. Renowned names such as Taylor's, Graham's, Dow's, and Fonseca are synonymous with excellence in the world of ports. These esteemed houses boast rich histories, exceptional vineyard holdings, and a diverse range of ports that cater to the discerning palates of enthusiasts worldwide.


Embarking on a journey through the world of fine port wines allows you to immerse yourself in centuries-old traditions, exquisite flavours, and the artistry of the Douro Valley's winemakers. Each sip reveals a tapestry of flavours, from the opulent fruit to the complex nuances derived from oak aging.

Croft has developed its own rather ripe, voluptuous and rather jammy style in recent years, distinguishing the wine from the firmer, perhaps more challenging character of Fonseca and Taylor. Perhaps 2017 has been kind to Quinta da Roêda which provides the ‘cornerstone’ of this Port: surprisingly closed on the nose with plump juicy fruit underlying, ripe plums and cherries; similarly plump and voluptuous initially with a wonderfully ripe, broad tannic core rising in the mouth, dense and rather gorgeous all the way through to a fresh, vibrant finish. This has it all and maybe the wine of the vintage.

Croft was founded over 300 years ago by Englishmen John Croft. It is the oldest and one of the most distinguished names in Port. In 2001 Croft was sold to the Fladgate Partnership, though they have retained their distinctive style and indentify. They are a regular favourite for lovers of vintage port.
