£26.65
Churchill’s is a small, independent family business. Johnny and his family are still at the heart of the business with his daughter, Zoe, recently joining him to lead the operation. They are a 45-strong tight-knit team, all committed to inciting joy through the power of simply excellent wines. Churchills participate in the integrated production protocol, committing to sustainable practices that will ensure future generations will be able to enjoy fresh young ports alongside the decades-aged vintages.
Crusted Port is a younger, rare style of Port wine that is bottled unfiltered, leaving a sediment (crust) to form in the bottle with time. This style aims to provide a full-bodied, traditional style that emulates Vintage Port, but at a more affordable price.
Following tradition, Churchill’s 2006 Crusted Port is a Port of Vintage quality which is often blended from Vintage Port lots of two different years. It is aged in oak casks before being bottled and then matured in bottle for at least 3 years before being sold. This Port Wine has a rich garnet colour with a violet hue. Fresh resinous notes on the aroma. Complex and elegant on the palate, combining cherry flavours with dark chocolate notes in a well balanced finish.
Tasting Note:
Complex and elegant on the palate, combining cherry flavours with dark chocolate notes in a well balanced finish.
