Croft Pink Port

The Croft Pink Port was the world's very first rosé port, ushering in a completely new way to enjoy port. Instead of the traditional rich and dark style, Croft Pink offers a fresh, fruity, and surprisingly light taste experience. This innovative port is made from classic Portuguese grape varieties and is delicious to drink chilled, neat, with ice, or as a base for a refreshing Port & Tonic.

Raspberries, cherries, honey, and grapefruit

Croft Pink has a bright pink color and an enticing aroma of raspberries, cherries, and red berries, complemented by subtle floral notes. On the palate, juicy cherries and raspberries beautifully combine with refined nuances of honey and grapefruit. The fresh acidity provides a lively character and a surprisingly refreshing finish, making this rosé port perfect for sunny days and enjoyable social gatherings. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

A revolutionary style of port

For Croft Pink, a special vinification method is used where the grape skins have only brief contact with the juice. This creates the characteristic light pink color and optimally preserves the fresh fruit aromas. Unlike many traditional ports, Croft Pink does not age in wood but in stainless steel tanks. This keeps the wine wonderfully fruity, lively, and modern in character. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

This rosé port also pairs excellently with roasted almonds, olives, charcuterie, fruit salads, sorbets, and light desserts. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
