Grape info: Highly prized for its intense aromatics, Touriga Nacional forms the basis of most vintage ports, conferring colour, tannin and age-worthy potential. Touriga Franca adds a perfumed elegance while Tinta Roriz provides firmness, length and finesse.

About: 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.
