Churchills Vintage 2011
£88.85
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.
All Churchill’s ports are made from Grade-A grapes that are hand-picked, hand-sorted, and foot trod in the ancient granite lagares (treading tanks) at Quinta da Gricha in the Douro Valley. We allow an extended period of fermentation in lagares to limit the amount of brandy required in fortification and leading to a drier style of port. Intense in colour with mineral qualities, the 2011 Vintage has a concentrated berry nose, a fresh resinous palate and excellent natural acidity which provides the blend with a firm tannic structure that ensures greater longevity.
Tasting Note:
Concentrated berry nose, a fresh resinous palate and excellent natural acidity which provides the blend with a firm tannic structure that ensures greater longevity.
