Croft Reserve Ruby Porto

Croft Reserve Ruby Port is a red fortified wine sourced from individual growers in the Douro Valley, where the varying altitude and aspect of the vineyards creates the potential for a finely balanced wine year after year. In the winery, the newly developed, robotic “Port Toes” technology for treading allows the winery to maximize the quality of the fruit by imitating the traditional action of human feet and avoiding damage to the bitter grape seeds. Fermentation is halted by the addition of grape spirits before all the residual sugar has been fermented, creating a sweet, fortified wine. Croft Reseve Ruby is a blend of young wines matured in neutral oak casks for an average of three years before bottling to produce an approachable yet intensely fruity fortified wine.
