Churchill's Late Bottled Vintage Ruby Port

Sourced from the best selections of our Douro grade-A vineyards each harvest, this LBV has real vintage pedigree and ageing potential to match. Matured in large oak vats for 4 years and bottled unfiltered, this elegant port retains intense dark fruit flavours. A full-bodied velvety port, with a fresh long-lasting finish.

Solid black cherry colour with a violet rim. Fresh resinous nose, with aromas of black plums and blackcurrant. Very well structured on the palate, with flavours of dry chocolate and black pepper, with plenty of grip on the finish.

The blended Port is then matured in large oak vats during 4 years where it softens, shedding its harsh tannins, but without losing its full bodied, rich fruit flavours.

Finally, after 4 years in wood vats it is bottled unfiltered into dark Vintage Port bottles and laid down to finish its maturation in our temperature conditioned cellars.
