Port wine is a serious drink. It’s poured into slender, tapered Port glasses and sipped in a low-lit dining room after a fine meal or in a dark study, comfortable alongside the brandy drinkers and cigars. Its pedigree and long history have consistently placed it among upper class, aristocracy, even nobility.<\/p>\n

Now imagine a Port that breaks free of conventions, lets loose a little and does the unexpected. You could just as easily enjoy it on its own or in a cocktail, outside on a picnic blanket or after a meal. It\u2019s the Marie Antoinette of the noble Port world, if you will: Pink Port!<\/p>\n

What Is Pink Port?<\/h1>\n

Pink Port, or Ros\u00e9 Port, was first developed by winemaker David Guimaraens<\/strong> in 2008, when he crafted Croft Pink<\/a>. The category has a bright pink hue, is intensely fruity, and is made with the classic Port grapes: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto C\u00e3o,Touriga Franca, and Tinta Amarela. Pink Port is essentially a white Port wine (uncommon in the U.S.), fermented in cool temperatures to maintain fruitiness, with skin contact up to 12 hours to develop the gorgeous color.<\/p>\n
