Winemaking:
This innovative new style of port has been made by a new technique which extracts fresh, fruity flavours and delivers a subtle and delicate pink colour. The result is wonderfully fresh and vibrant, full of the rich fruit flavours of Port but with a unique and distinctive appeal. The challenge for producing the Pink Port was how to capture these characters without letting the intense tannic character of Douro grapes and the fortification process dominate the final product. The winemaking approach was to take red Port grapes and handle them in a similar way to producing an elegant non-wooded white wine. This vinification method extracts a light amount of colour from the skins without extracting astringent tannins which would make the palate of this light style of Port aggressive. The cold settling prior to fermentation and the cool fermentation are fundamental to enhance the freshness of fruit and its elegance.

86 points - Croft Pink Port
Vivid pink colour. Some spiciness on the sweet fruity nose. The palate is rich and full, sweet and spicy with nice strawberry fruit. Delicious but odd.
15 points - Croft Pink Port
Gave that talk, the daring, the launch of this first rosé Port. The color is attractive, the aroma fruity, blackcurrant and well strawberry, floral touch, very mild flavor, sweet, clean and easy to like. To drink fresh or, for those who like to take down conventions, mixed with ice in a tall glass. Will be the hit of the summer.
87 points - Croft Pink Port
Bright pink in color, this is a fruity as much as rich wine. It has freshness, cherry flavors with acidity and an intensely candied, honey-sweet finish. It's complete enough to drink by itself.
