NEW IN STORE: The first Croft Quinta da Roêda Sérikos Vintage Port 2017
Published : 11/18/2019 - Categories : House of Port
This is the first Vintage Port made from the produce of the old, historic vineyard plots on the Croft flagship property, Quinta da Roêda. Named S?rikos, a historical reference to the property’s involvement in the production of silk following the destruction of its vineyards by Phylloxera and to the silken quality of its wines, it was made available on allocation in very limited quantities.
This superb vintage shows an inky black center in a slender ring of deep purple. The nose opens with a dazzling peacock’s tail of scents and aromas. The rich, ripe fruit, which is a consistent feature of the wines of Quinta da Roêda, has developed a kaleidoscopic complexity, crisp red berry aromas blending with ripe, succulent black fruits and a fresh grapiness. The signature Roêda eucalyptus and rock rose scents merge with hints of crushed mint, fresh citrus notes and a pot-pourri of savoury herbs and dried rose petal. The wine opens a treasure chest of surprising nuances as it develops in the glass. On the palate the wine is thick, dense and silky, packed with opulent fruit and supported by a mesh of tightly-woven tannins.
With 96 points in Robert Parker and a perfect score of 20 points out of 20 in the Revista de Vinhos, this is probably one of the best old vines vintage port ever being made. With a very limited production, you can find it now in our store for €295.45 and limited to the available stock.
