Wine Making
Wine Making
Following tradition, Churchill’s 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. The year on the label is the year of bottling. As Crusted Port is not fined or filtered before being bottled, it will continue to develop and mature in bottle like a Vintage Port, and will throw a thick natural sediment or “Crust”, hence the name “Crusted Port.”
