ABOUT THIS WINE
Churchill's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2019 is a fortified red wine from the Douro region of Portugal. Produced by Churchill Graham Lda, it is a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão. The wine's distinctiveness stems from its origin from the same Quintas used for declared Vintage Ports, offering notable fruit intensity and finesse. It is bottled unfiltered, preserving its inherent structure and complexity. Churchill's Port was established in 1981 by Johnny Graham, aiming to introduce a personal, drier style and a fresh approach to port production, and remains the last independent British port house.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Churchill's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2019 is produced using traditional methods. The grapes undergo foot-trodden fermentation in granite lagares, utilizing native yeasts.
