Wild blue hedgerow and blackcurrant fruit and notes of sage and mint on the nose, the palate has remarkably good acidity, even if the fruit character verges more toward succulent prunes, raisins and raspberries. Exotic and rich, with enormous concentration, it finishes mellow and velvety, wrapping up all those tannins in beautifully clear fruit.
Previously owned by Taylor Fladgate & Yeatman, Croft was acquired by John Fladgate personally in 1862, upon whom was bestowed the title ‘Barão de Roêda’ by the Portuguese Crown. With the marriage of Fladgate’s daughter to Charles Wright of Croft the property passed into The House of Croft’s hands in 1875. The vineyard draws its character not only from new Port winemaking technologies but also by maintaining its commitment to traditional foot treading, for its vintage port wines. Quinta da Roêda is the cornerstone of Croft’s reputation as a producer of superb vintage and vintage-style Ports. Its characteristically plump, full, vigorously fruity wines are the essence of the inimitable Croft house style.
