Wine Description:
Croft Vintage Port is a fortified wine from the Douro region of Portugal. Croft, one of the oldest and most respected producers of Port, has been making this wine since 1788. The wine is made from a blend of the finest grapes from Croft's vineyards, which are located in some of the best areas of the Douro Valley. The grapes are carefully selected and fermented in granite lagares before being aged in oak barrels for several years. The result is a rich and full-bodied wine with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, balanced by a firm tannic structure. Croft Vintage Port is a classic example of the style and is known for its exceptional aging potential, with some vintages lasting for several decades.
