Croft Pink is the first rosé port, a style of port developed by the House of Croft in 2008 with the aim of appealing to younger consumers and the on-trade.

The fortified wine itself is made in the same way as 'regular' red Port but with a lot less time in contact with the grape skins before then being made like a white port with a long, cool ferment.
