Description

All Churchill’s ports are made from Grade-A grapes that are hand-picked, hand sorted, and foot trod in the ancient granite lagares (treading tanks) at Quinta da Gricha in the Douro Valley. We allow an extended period of fermentation in lagares to limit the amount of brandy required in fortification and leading to a drier style of port.

Tasting Notes Darkest colour like elderberry juice. Not yet open on the nose but starting to reveal the richness of damson and the scent of blueberries with a hint of vanilla sweetness. Rich and dense on the palate. Firm, dry tannins, with rich but not obviously sweet black-fruit flavours. The dark, rock-like impression of the Douro and the attractively dry tannins obscure the sweetness rather nicely. (17/20 -Julia Harding Oct 2021, JancisRobinson.com)

Serving Tips & Storage When mature this port will need to be decanted to remove sediment. Serve at room temperature on its own or with steak and blue cheese sauce or vintage mature blue cheeses such as stilton Cashel Blue, Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Saint Augur Blue. Vintage port is also good with chocolate - a flattering accompaniment to top quality hand-made chocolates and artisan chocolate bars. Please store on its side in a cool dark space away from heat and light. Drink from 2028-2050+.

***16/20 Richard Mayson ***
Deep, opaque; open, fragrant minty hedgerow aromas; well-defined berry fruit, still a little raw and needing time to knit together, backed by dusty-gravelly tannins and a vibrant finish. Mid-term wine, enjoyable now but better in 7 – 10 years. June 2021
