Distillery Information
Croft is a leading Port house releasing a full range of styles, though it is particularly known both for vintage Port production, alongside a range of more innovative products, including the first rosé Port. It is the oldest business still active as a Port wine producer; the company has its roots as a wine merchant founded in York, northern England in 1588 by Henry Thompson. By 1647, it had acquired cellars in Bordeaux, and on the journeys out to wine regions was trading several other commodities such as textiles; during the 1650s it had begun trading with Portugal. The Croft family married into the firm in the 1730s, and the first vintage Croft Port was the 1781. In 1911, the Gilbey family took control. In the 1960s and '70s, the firm diversified into brandy and Sherry. By this time it was owned by IDV, which later became Diageo. In 2001, the Croft Port brand was bought by Taylor Fonseca (which became the Fladgate Partnership), while Gonzalez Byass bought the Sherry arm and Diageo retained the brandy business. The vineyard estate has undergone extensive investment in recent years. In addition the house gained prominence for releasing Croft Pink, and new blends such as Croft Indulgence, while gaining high ratings for its vintage releases. Croft's key vineyard is Quinta da Roêda, purchased in 1889, which contains some of the oldest vineyards in the Douro.
