Churchills White Port NV 500ml

Commercial

Churchill’s was founded in 1981 by winemaker Johnny Graham, whose family has been making wine in the Douro for six generations. We were the first port shipper to be started-up in over half a century and are now the last independent British port house. Churchill´s ports are unique for their signature dry, fresh style. We produce all our ports from grade A grapes that are hand-picked, foot crushed and naturally fermented for finest quality wines with minimal intervention.

VIBRANT - ORANGE BLOSSOM – SMOOTH

With aromas of grated nutmeg and eucalyptus, this port is fresh and complex, showing hints of orange peel. SOURCING Specially selected from higher altitude Grade-A vineyards.
