Winemaker Notes
On the nose, there are complex and distinctive fresh fruit and floral aromas with discreet spice and pepper wood notes. On the palate, good acidity, with rich spicy, red fruit flavors have a balanced character, with soft tannins that help an elegant and long finish.

Wine Spectator
Rich, ripe and spicy, with luscious flavors of dark plum, red cherry, cedar and sandalwood. The finish of chocolate mousse and café au lait is long and mouthfilling. Drink now through 2015. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
Churchill's is a family-run port and Douro wine producer based in Vila Nova da Gaia and the Douro Valley. They were born of passion and pluck; an unlikely child of ancient tradition and youthful vision.
Johnny Graham founded Churchill's in 1981, when he was just 29 years old, to bring a personal, drier style and a fresh vibe to the traditional world of port. Today they produce a world-class roster of vintage, ruby and wood aged ports, in addition to Douro terroir wines that capture the spirit of the region and their beloved vineyard Quinta da Gricha.
Johnny still makes the wine and runs the company today, with help from the next generation of his family. Thy are now the last remaining independent British port house, and they plan to keep it that way.
They believe in wines that are personal and without pretense; jobs that work with nature; and moments that bring people closer to what brings them joy.
Live well, drink well, do good. Welcome to Churchill's.
