Product Notes

Churchill's Grafite Estate Douro Red wine is typified by its ruby hue, fine elegance, and superbly balanced structure. This Portuguese wine captures the beautiful, rich fruitiness and spicy flavours of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca grapes. Aromas of dark cherries and ripe blackberries promise sophistication which is delivered with a full-bodied, yet smooth finish. Harmoniously blended to reveal notes of chocolate, spice and matured dark fruits, the wine carries an ample tannic structure ideal for cellaring. The Grafite Estate Douro Red is a quintessential example of Churchill's dedication to producing wines that mirror the robust and timeless allure of Douro Valley. Perfect accompaniment to a hearty Sunday roast.

Tasting Notes

This wine has a black violet colour. On the nose intense fresh blackberry aromas in a resinous background. Rich, juicy and spicy on the palate, with a lovely vibrant natural acidity on the finish
