Product Notes

Richly laden with character, Churchill's Gricha Douro Red wine hails from Portugal's famed Douro Valley. This charming wine displays a robust ruby colour that unfolds an enticing medley of ripe dark fruits, distinct spice notes and hints of cedar. Its enveloping richness is balanced perfectly with a vibrant acidity and firm tannins, offering an excellent structure. The ripe fruit flavours extend through to a luxuriously long and graceful finish. Matured meticulously, the wine's complexity is enhanced by its ageing in French oak barrels. It is a hearty, elegant wine, proposed to be savoured alongside a well-crafted, gourmet meal.

Tasting Notes

Bright garnet colour. Intense and expressive on the nose, combining fresh aromas of blueberries and spices. Delicate and complex on the palate, with black cherry flavours and a mineral layer, ending in a long, seductive, velvety finish.
