Port of call

-

Port comes in a wide variety of styles and even colours. White Port, delicious drunk on a terrace in the Douro, has never taken off in Britain. Croft Pink is a bold attempt to cash in on the rosé market. Here are four styles to focus on:

LBV or late-bottled vintage

Affordable and approachab­le Port from a single vintage, matured in the barrel for four or five years so that it’s ready to drink when it comes on the market. Try the superb, lushly layered Fonseca Unfiltered LBV 2011 (£14.75; www.justincase­s.co.uk)
