Croft Quinta Da Roeda Serikos Vintage Port 2017 Overview

Vintage Port from the Douro region in Portugal.

This Croft Serikos Vintage Port 2017 is a limited-production vintage port from the historic Quinta da Roeda old vineyards. It opens with a complex nose of red and black fruits, fresh herbs, eucalyptus, mint, citrus, and floral rose notes. The palate is rich, dense, and velvety, with layered fruit concentration and firm but polished tannins leading into a long, expressive finish.

Serve after decanting and allow it to breathe to reveal its aromatic depth. Ideal for special occasions, gifting, or cellaring, it pairs well with strong cheeses, nut-based desserts.

Tasting Notes

Croft Quinta Da Roeda Serikos Vintage Port 2017

The inaugural release of Serikos from Croft’s historic Quinta da Roeda, this 2017 Vintage Port is crafted exclusively from some of the estate’s oldest vineyard parcels. The name “Serikos” references both the estate’s historical silk trade connections and the wine’s naturally refined, silky texture. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it represents a rare expression of old-vine depth and complexity.

Tasting Profile:

  • Impenetrable black core with a vivid purple rim.
  • The nose is highly expressive, unfolding in waves of ripe red berries, black fruits, and fresh grape character. Aromatic complexity builds with eucalyptus, rock rose, mint, citrus peel, dried herbs, and rose petals, creating a layered and evolving bouquet.
  • On the palate it is dense, opulent, and silky, with concentrated dark fruit wrapped in tightly woven tannins that provide structure and persistence.
  • The finish is long, powerful, and finely balanced.

Occasion & Buyer Profile

Serikos tends to be chosen by people who want something genuinely rare - a bottle with a story, a sense of place and a level of concentration you only get from old vines. It’s often picked up by collectors, but also by customers looking for a standout bottle for a milestone celebration or a gift that feels thoughtful and unusual.

FAQ's For Croft Quinta Da Roeda Serikos Vintage Port 2017

What does “Serikos” mean?

Serikos is a name loaded with history and symbolism. It comes from the Greek word for silk, and it reflects two important parts of Quinta da Roeda’s past:

  • The estate’s 19th‑century involvement in silk production, when mulberry trees were planted on the property to support silkworm cultivation.
  • The “silken” texture of the wine itself, a hallmark of the old‑vine fruit used for Serikos - dense, seamless and luxuriously smooth.
  • The name is a deliberate nod to both heritage and style: it ties the wine back to Roeda’s agricultural past while also describing the tactile, almost silk‑threaded quality of the tannins. It’s a rare case where the name genuinely mirrors the experience in the glass.
Why is the 2017 Serikos vintage special?

The 2017 Serikos is a landmark release for Croft because it is the first vintage ever produced exclusively from the oldest, most historic vineyard plots at Quinta da Roeda.

These ancient vines yield tiny quantities of intensely concentrated fruit, giving the wine a depth, aromatic range and textural richness that simply can’t be replicated from younger plantings.

It is also special because 2017 was an exceptional year in the Douro, producing wines with remarkable purity, structure and ageing potential. Serikos captures the very best of the vintage: a kaleidoscopic aromatic profile, dense yet refined tannins, and a sense of power held in perfect balance. Made in very limited quantities and released on allocation, it stands as one of the most distinctive and collectible expressions ever produced from Quinta da Roeda. A true old‑vine benchmark with decades of evolution ahead.

How should it be served?

Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, in a large glass.

Does it need decanting?

Yes - it is unfiltered and forms sediment.
