Wine Making

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). 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.

Serving Recommendations

Stand the bottle upright for a few hours before decanting. Best decanted at least two hours before service. Serve at room temperature (16-18ºC).

Food Pairing

As the classic sipping wine, Vintage Port is an excellent accompaniment for small plates that feature ingredients such as blue cheese (stilton), dark chocolate, figs, and walnuts.
