WINE MAKING PROCESS
Churchill's Dry White Port is produced using traditional methods in the Douro Valley. The white grape varietals are cold-stored overnight before being crushed with their stalks. Fermentation occurs on the skins in granite lagares, with an emphasis on minimal intervention and the use of natural yeasts to preserve aromatics. The wine then undergoes an extended aging process of ten years in seasoned oak casks, contributing to its balanced and smooth character.
