Churchill’s 2016 Vintage Port – Intense, structured and made for long ageing

Churchill’s 2016 Vintage Port is a powerful and classic Vintage from one of the Douro’s most respected producers. The 2016 vintage is characterized by an exceptional balance of ripe fruit and pronounced natural acidity – the very combination that ensures a long and beautiful life in the cellar.

The decision to declare 2016 as Vintage was based on the wine’s purity, fruit intensity and – not least – its outstanding natural acidity. For Churchill’s, acidity is the key to longevity, freshness and structure in a young Vintage Port.

The wine is created with a focus on elegance and precision. The result is a concentrated yet energetic Vintage Port that is already showing character but will evolve significantly over the next several decades.

Tasting notes

Color: Deep dark ruby with a violet rim.

Aroma: Intense blackcurrant, black cherry and wild blackberry aromas. Floral notes and slightly spicy complexity.

Taste: Full-bodied and structured with dense dark fruit, firm tannin and vibrant acidity. The balance between power and freshness is exemplary.

Aftertaste: Long and precise with pure fruit and great ageing potential.

This Vintage Port can be enjoyed young after decanting, but will reward patience and develop greater complexity over the years.
