VARIETALS
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Tinta Barroca

NOTES
VINEYARD: Produced with old vines (on average over +50 years old) from the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior sub-regions in the Douro Valley, of which the backbone comes from the old vines of Quinta da Gricha.

FARMING: Organic, Vegan

VINIFICATION: A field blend. Made in “lagares” or traditional granite treading tanks; the preferred choice of Churchill's. Although more costly, the estate believes it is still the most effective maceration process for making top quality Vintage Port. Churchill's has treading teams working throughout the day and up to 10pm each evening. Indigenous yeast fermentation.
