Churchill's 10 Year Old Tawny Port

Tawny port is an art of blending. We work with time, wood, and experience to find a balance between the concentration of age and the freshness of youth.

Like all other Churchill’s Ports, the component wines of this Late Bottled Vintage blend have been vinified in traditional granite lagares (treading tanks). After fermentation, the wine goes through an ageing period in seasoned oak casks for an average of 10 years. The wines are then blended to house style before bottling.

It shows a fresh and vibrant character, with a brick red colour and a complex fragrance of dried fruits and red cherries. Nose: Elegant and subtle, complex with expressive notes of dried fruits combined with hints of orange peel Palate: Full on the mouth, showing an excellent vinosity and freshness, allowing it to finish long and persistent. Best enjoyed within 2 years of bottling. Serve chilled (10º-12ºC).

Churchill's 10 Year Old Tawny Port NV	94 Decanter Sourced from old vines in Churchill’s Cima Corgo estates. Made in the drier, robust, spicy house style, this is a characterful 10-year-old, with peppery, liquorice-laced, dried plum, roast hazelnuts, salted caramel praline and pan-singed marmalade. The long, involving finish is clean and dry. Potent, with 101g/L residual sugar. Drinking Window 2020 – 2025. 90 Wine Spectator Warm fruitcake, brown bread and mulled raisin notes give this a broad, almost languid feel, but there are hints of singed walnut and clove in the background imparting contrast and range. High-pitched acidity carries the finish. Stylish and intriguing. Drink now. 500 cases imported. 91 James Suckling Notes of dried persimmons and dried apricots with toasted walnuts and tree bark. Full and sweet but bright and tangy at the same time, with notes of dried citrus peel and floral undertones. Pretty and seductive with a crunchy, refreshing finish. Drink or hold.
