Pink Port
When I first saw this in Marks and Spencers, I was a bit confused. Port is ruby or tawny, or even white, but never before pink!. It seems that some years previously, Crofts have made a port in which colour and tannin extraction had been carefully controlled and then fortified in a way that did not dominate the resultant product. This gives a wine with fresh fruity flavours, increased vibrancy and less heavy on the palate. Crofts suggests chilling theirs or even serving it over ice. This Marks and Spencers version is by David Guimaraens (of the Fonseca House) - they didn't mention chilling, but suggest nuts or a light fruit pudding as suitable matches.
