CROFT
Port
Croft Pink
Croft Pink Port is a Rosé style port with a light, bright pink colour. It is soft and approachable but has a crisp finish, with its attractive floral notes underlining the pungent and aromatic raspberry fruit aromas, and lovely nuances of honey and grapefruit. Serve chilled as an aperitif or over ice for a refreshing lift.

Drink this well chilled, poured over ice and garnished with fresh mint. With its sweet but tangy mix of cranberries, red plums and Parma violets, it’s a wake-up to the palate.

“Raspberry juice, bubblegum, pink apples and fresh strawberries. Sweet and full on the palate, good concentration. Well balanced and smooth, creamy texture with a mouth-watering burst of fruit on the finish. Very good, not massively complex but a worthy product.” (16)

“It probably offends the purists but it makes a great summer drink, either on its own over ice or mixed with jasmine tea and a sprig of thyme as a long drink. I’ve even made jelly out of it, served in ramekins with a sprinkling of blueberries.”

“....a disarmingly accessible premium Ruby Port. Full of ripe cherries and spice it is richly flavoured with a surprisingly smooth finish. No need to decant, it’s Port to enjoy rather than agonise over and is spot on with Easter eggs.”

“Meaty, chocolate, blackberries, cherries, spices and a hint of oakiness with slightly drying tannins on the finish.”

“It is a straightforward effort with an attractive nose of damp earth, mineral, blackberry, and plum with herbal notes in the background. It is firmly structured and is likely to evolve for up to a decade but is not a candidate for extended cellaring. 88.”
