WINE DESCRIPTION
Croft Port Pink is the original rosé port. This unique port style offers a unique and refreshing twist on traditional port wines. Crafted in the renowned Douro Valley, this wine showcases the willingness of the region to innovate. This wine does not have the tannic structure of Vintage Ports and its fruit profile is fresher and more vivid than that of a ruby. With a lush, licorice-accented strawberries and cream palate with a hint of violet on the finish, this is meant for summer drinking. Try it over ice or make your own take on a Spritz at your next outdoor party.

ORIGINS
Winery: Croft
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
