Churchill’s Vintage Port 2017 – Intense, elegant and made for long ageing

Churchill’s Vintage Port 2017 is a powerful and impressive port from the Douro Valley in Portugal. The vintage is already considered one of the greats of recent times. The wine is a clear expression of Churchill’s distinctive style, where pure fruit and fresh acidity go hand in hand with concentration and elegance.

The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in the Douro. The rugged terrain, steep terraces and slatey soils create optimal conditions for grapes with deep color and intense aroma. The result is a Port with great structure and a great balance between power and finesse.

Churchill’s Vintage Port 2017 has an almost electric energy in the glass. The intense fruit and vibrant acidity give the wine great freshness. At the same time, the firm tannins ensure impressive ageing potential. Over time, the wine develops even more complexity and depth.

This is a Port for special moments. It impresses now, but will develop beautifully in the cellar for many years. Vintage port is one of the world’s most sought-after dessert wines, and this vintage is a strong example of why.
