Product Notes

Churchill's Vintage Port is a sumptuous, full-bodied wine derived from old vines in the Douro region of Portugal. Its deep garnet hue is wonderfully inviting, while the nose is brimming with rich, opulent aromas of dark fruits, notably blackcurrant and plum. This wine boasts a stunningly complex palate, harmonising sweet ripe fruit flavours with subtle tones of chocolate and spice. Maturing well in the bottle, it leaves a lingering finish that ends on a delightful, spicy note. Churchill’s Vintage Port is a sophisticated blend, suitable for any seasoned wine connoisseur or newcomer to the world of port.

Tasting Notes

Churchill’s Vintage 2016 has plenty of intensity on the nose, with concentrated aromas of fresh blackberries and spices, and with graphite and herbal undertones. Fresh and vibrant with a meaty middle palate, showing layers of black cherries and chocolates encased in a high tone shell of green tea and gum cistus flavours.
