Region: Douro, Portugal

Composition: Port Blend

History: Near river, rail, and road transport and lying against a backdrop of rugged mountainous scenery, Roêda is considered the finest Port estate in Portugal. And today, it is from its own famous Quinta da Roêda, in the center of the Douro valley, that Croft annually sends down to its lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia the fine wines that constitute the best of Croft’s production. The twentieth-century directors and managers of Croft & Co. have assiduously pursued the fine quality and reputation they inherited. The House of Croft has continued to play a dominant role in developing the Port trade in Portugal and internationally.

Tasting Notes:

A blend of young wines, matured in cask for an average of three years before bottling. Croft Fine Ruby is a crisp, full-bodied, fruity Port rich in style and with a deep, deep red, intense appearance.
