Croft 2024 Vintage Port
An Elegant and Exotic Vintage from Quinta da Roêda
Croft has announced the release of its 2024 Vintage Port, produced from a small harvest of exceptional quality centred around the renowned Quinta da Roêda. The 2024 vintage beautifully captures Croft’s distinctive house style, combining aromatic opulence, exotic character, and rich fruit with remarkable freshness and refinement.
Deep purple-black in colour with a fine magenta rim, the nose is intensely aromatic and expressive, revealing layers of ripe strawberry, black cherry, cassis, and rich woodland fruit. Characteristic notes of rockrose, eucalyptus, spice, and clove emerge from the glass, reflecting the unmistakable personality of Quinta da Roêda. Floral nuances and subtle herbal complexity add elegance and lift to the wine’s exuberant fruit profile.
On the palate, an avalanche of rich, succulent fruit coats the mouth, supported by discreet yet beautifully integrated tannins. The texture is polished and velvety, balanced by vibrant acidity that brings freshness and precision to the wine’s considerable depth and concentration. Combining opulence with restraint, the 2024 Croft Vintage Port is already immensely appealing in youth while possessing the structure and balance required for long-term ageing.
The 2024 growing season benefited from healthy winter rainfall, moderate summer conditions, and cooler nights during harvest, allowing for slow and even ripening with excellent phenolic maturity. Traditional foot treading in granite lagares and co-fermentation of the Douro’s classic grape varieties have contributed to the wine’s complexity, aromatic intensity, and signature Croft character.
