Best served with blue-veined cheeses, berry tarts, or chocolate-based desserts. Perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone marking a celebratory moment.

Tasting Notes

Croft Vintage Port 2017

A sumptuous single-vintage expression from one of the Douro Valley’s oldest and most respected port houses. Crafted exclusively from grapes grown in Croft’s own vineyards - including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Roriz. This port exemplifies the richness and elegance of the 2017 vintage.

Tasting Notes:

  • The wine shows a dense, inky core fading to a magenta rim.
  • The nose is ripe, voluptuous, and complex, revealing juicy blackcurrant, black cherry, and raspberry layered with resiny eucalyptus, hints of gumcistus, sage, mint, and a touch of grapefruit and subtle spice.
  • On the palate, firm, sinewy tannins wrap a thick, velvety texture, delivering both power and finesse.
  • This weighty, deeply coloured port is concentrated and structured for long-term ageing.

Occasion & Buyer Profile

This vintage appeals to buyers looking for a Port that brings presence and refinement to formal dinners, milestone celebrations or thoughtful gifting. It’s chosen by those who want a bottle with heritage, structure and long‑term value.

Food Pairing

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Slow‑braised beef short rib works beautifully, as the wine’s structure and depth stand up to the richness of the meat while the firm tannins cut through the sauce. A touch of fresh herb or citrus at the end helps lift the pairing and keeps it balanced.

A dark chocolate and hazelnut torte offers a more indulgent match, with the wine’s concentration and weight complementing the density of the dessert. The richness of the torte mirrors the wine’s power, and the nutty element adds a welcome contrast in texture.
