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 2007 vintage was characterized by a wet winter, a cool spring, and a very warm September that brought the crop to perfect maturity. The resulting wines are described as stylish, elegant, and full of vitality and fresh, concentrated fruit.

Croft 2007 Port
18/20
Blueberry, cranberry, clove, violets – very opulent. Rich, thick mouthfeel with lovely balance of acidity, very approachable, surprisingly soft whilst remaining very concentrated.
