Description
One of the original founding Port houses, Croft traces its origins to 1588 when the company was established in England. The reputation of Croft as a Vintage Port producer derives to a large extent from its ownership of Quinta da Roêda, one of the finest estates in the Douro Valley, and from such legendary wines as the Croft 1945, recognised as one of the finest of that landmark year. The character of Croft Vintage Ports is one of the most individual of all. Scented, exotic and crammed with luscious opulent fruit flavour, they develop great richness and complexity with age. The company is renowned above all for its Vintage Ports as well as for its range of wood aged reserves and tawnies, time-honoured styles refined by skill and experience passed down the generations.

This is a Finest Reserve Port which is a blend of ports which have been aged in wood for four to five years to produce wines of greater complexity than their younger counterparts. A port with attractive, intense fresh fruit aromas and flavours. Croft Distinction is bottled for immediate drinking.

Croft Distinction Special Reserve Port NV – 89 / 100 Points

A powerful, rich blackberry bouquet with subtle notes of spice and cedar. On the palate, rich blackberry, plum and cherry flavours are intertwined with silky dark chocolate. The wine has balance, poise and a long, sumptuous finish.
