Producer Information: Croft
Croft, established in 1588 in Vila Nova de Gaia within Portugal’s Douro Valley, stands as one of the oldest port houses with a legacy deeply rooted in the region’s schist-rich terroir and riverbank vineyards. The house is distinguished by its commitment to traditional foot-treading methods and extended wood aging, which impart complexity and finesse to their ports. Croft’s philosophy centers on expressing the unique character of each vineyard parcel, particularly through their vintage ports and aged tawnies. Beyond their flagship ruby and vintage ports, Croft also crafts white port styles that highlight the aromatic potential of indigenous grapes like Malvasia Fina and Viosinho, further cementing their reputation for innovation within the fortified wine category while remaining firmly anchored in Douro Valley traditions.

Porto: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide
View All Porto Products →Porto, commonly known as Port wine, is a fortified wine originating from the Douro Valley in Portugal. It is made primarily from a blend of grapes including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão. The fortification process involves adding grape spirit (aguardente) during fermentation to halt the process and preserve the natural sugars, resulting in a range of sweetness levels from dry styles like Branco to sweeter varieties such as Ruby and Tawny.
The aging methods for Porto vary significantly among its types. Ruby Porto is typically aged in large oak casks for a shorter duration, showcasing rich red fruit flavors like cherry and raspberry with hints of chocolate. In contrast, Tawny Porto undergoes longer aging in smaller barrels that allow for oxidation and evaporation, developing nutty flavors alongside dried fruits and caramel notes. Vintage Porto is aged briefly in cask before being bottled for several years; it offers intense dark fruit flavors with floral and earthy complexities as it matures. Each style pairs beautifully with specific foods—Ruby with dark chocolate desserts or strong cheeses; Tawny with nuts or crème brûlée; Vintage best enjoyed on its own or alongside decadent dishes.
