Croft Pink

While you might be a little hungover from yesterday’s election, today is a new day. Whenever you’re starting a new chapter, there’s room to explore fresh wines that maybe you haven’t tried before. Croft Pink was the worlds first pink (rose) port, created in 2008. This lighter style of ruby port is the perfect aperitif to sip on chilled when you get home from work. If you do nothing else today, why not try something inventive?

ORIGIN

Douro, Portugal

Grapes

Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão,Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela

Tasting Notes

A lighter style of Ruby Porto; delightfully crisp, fresh and fruity. Attractive floral notes underline the exuberant and aromatic raspberry aromas. The palate is full of deliciously ripe cherry and berry fruit flavors with lovely nuances of honey and grapefruit.

Food Match

Small plates, salads, and any dishes you would enjoy at a barbeque, at the swimming pool or at a picnic.
