The wines used to blend Croft LBV were drawn from a reserve of some of the best full-bodied red Ports produced at the 2016 harvest. These wines were aged in wood and then blended after six years. This meticulous process ensures a balanced and complete wine, maintaining continuity of style with previous Croft LBVs.
Available in a 750ml bottle, at 20% abv.
TASTING NOTES
Deep purple with a burgundy red rim. Purity of fruit on the nose, with great freshness, vibrancy and exuberance. Dark plum, wild strawberry, Chelan cherry, hints of thyme and a touch of cracked black pepper. On the palate, tarragon, rich red plum, strawberry and blackberry, with a touch of cassis, overlaid with a rich coffee bean tone. Gentle tannins, wonderfully integrated into the wine, with a generous, fresh and balanced finish.
Serving Suggestions
Croft LBV is the perfect finish to any meal. It does not need to be decanted and should be served in a generously proportioned wine glass so that its rich fruity nose can be enjoyed to the full. Excellent with fully flavoured cheeses, especially blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort. It is also delicious with desserts made with chocolate or berry fruits.
