This port is made from grapes grown in a single harvest. The grapes are crushed or trodden and then matured in large wooden vats  and casks. It spends between two and three years in cask in before being bottled.

As the wine ages it softens and slowly sheds its deep dark colour, gaining structure and complexity.

As this port throws a natural crust or sediment, it should be stored upright for 24 hours before decanting.

The port has a superb colour, full body and very fine aroma.

Perfect to drink with cheeses, ice cream or as a digestive. 

A rich, full and robust port with sweet berry flavours.

Labels may be torn or scuffed as this port came from a College cellar. 

 “Croft never seems to get much publicity since the wines, while always very good, sometimes even excellent, never quite reach the superb level of the top houses in Oporto. However, Croft seems to do surprisingly well, often rivaling the top ports, in the less glamorous vintages such as 1975 and 1966. The 1985 will be an early-developing port. It shows aromas that border on overripeness and offers scents of plums and black cherries. Full-bodied, rich yet lush and soft, this husky wine had loads of concentration, a very sweet long finish and light tannins.” – 87pts Robert Parker, RobertParker.com, January 1989

A deep purple coloured port that is opulent and seductive on the nose. Sumptuous and dense on the palate, with blackcurrant notes that merge with subtle herbal and liquorice flavours.

The port is round and richly textured with beautifully integrated tannins with dark berry flavours that carry through to the long finish.

Amber golden in colour, soft and rich on the palate with a fine and mellow fruit flavour blending in with the almond overtones of prolonged cask aging. A very fine Port to be savoured in a reasonable sized glass so that the aromas and colour can be appreciated.

Serve slightly chilled in warm weather.

 One of the best examples from this great vintage. The port is impressive, complex and drinking well now but can also be kept.

“A fine, classic Dow nose with notes of cloves, raisin and a touch of fig. Not incredibly complex but refined and inviting. The palate is sweet and fleshy, again cloves, red-berried fruit, a touch of spice and dates towards the finish. Moderate weight, certainly not an imposing, alcoholic Dow, but refined with great elegance and refinement.” 92 Pts Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
