Product Notes

Churchill's Gricha Douro Red wine is a truly alluring Portuguese creation. Hailing from the Douro Valley, this exceptional wine presents an expressive bouquet teeming with ripe red fruits, hints of spices, and subtle undertones of oak. A medium-bodied wine, Gricha impresses with well-structured tannins and a harmonious balance between acidity and depth of flavour. The palate is treated to a complex, layered profile, with lingering notes of dark cherries, strawberries and a dash of black pepper. An elegant, sophisticated wine, Churchill's Gricha Douro Red serves as a delightful companion to an array of dishes, resonating with any refined palate.

Tasting Notes

Bright garnet colour. Intense and expressive on the nose, combining fresh aromas of blueberries and spices. Delicate and complex on the palate, with black cherry flavours and a mineral layer, ending in a long, seductive, velvety finish.

The wonderous mosaic of old vines, many exceeding 50 years of age, bestows the wine with an extraordinary flavour and complexity unrivalled elsewhere.

The longevity of these old vines, combined with the intense sunlight and the unique Douro Valley terroir, imparts a depth of flavour and a freshness in the wines that is the trademark of Churchill's. It is well plated in the winery’s philosophy, which centres around the production of authentic, high-quality wines that exhibit the unique character of their vineyards. The meticulous attention to detail in each step of the winemaking process, from harvest to production, demonstrates the winery's commitment to authentic craftsmanship.

Inside the winery, visitors can journey through the winemaking process while savouring the heady aromas of aged wine and oak barrels. There is an authentic intimacy here, paired with the robust elegance of the woody, systematized barrels. A guided tour of Churchill's Winery is not merely an auditory expedition, but an exploration of all five senses, assuring an unforgettable experience.
