produced from douro red grapes through an innovative technique
which extracts fresh, fruity flavours and delivers a subtle and delicate pink colour. the vinification method extracts a light amount of colour from the skins without extracting astringent tannins and without letting the fortification process dominate the final product. the cold decantation that precedes the cold fermentation is fundamental to ensure the freshness of the fruit aromas and their elegance..
“… the pioneering croft pink, which remains, in my opinion, still the best rosé port.”
