Product Description
The House of Croft was founded over three hundred years ago. The earliest evidence of the firm’s activity as a Port shipper dates from 1678, coincidentally the year of the first ever recorded shipments of Port wine. The company was orginally known as Phayre & Bradley after its founding partners and took its present name in 1736 when it was joined by John Croft, a member of an old and distinguished family of Yorkshire wine merchants. The Croft family played a prominent and influential role in the Port wine trade and elevated the House of Croft to the place of distinction which it occupies to this day.
It is aged in oak barrels that give it a dark topaz colour with an intense and complex aroma. Very smooth and persistant on the finish.
