Churchills Ten Year Old Tawny Port.
We offer this bottle fully hand engraved with your personalised design on the front and branding on the back.
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 - FRUITY – FRESH
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. Churchill’s 10 Year Old Tawny shows a fresh and vibrant character,
with a brick red colour and a complex fragrance of dried fruits and red
cherries.
SOURCING
Sourced from old vines from our estates located in the Cima Corgo and
Douro Superior sub-regions of the Douro Valley.
TASTING NOTES
Colour: A rich brick red with flashes of amber.
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.
WINEMAKING NOTES
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 sea-
soned oak casks for an average of 10 years. The wines are then blended to
house style before bottling.
CELLARING
Filtered and ready for immediate drinking so does not require bottle ageing.
SERVING
Best enjoyed within 2 years of bottling. Serve chilled (10º-12ºC)
This item includes our bespoke design and engraving service. Every item is individually hand engraved using traditional sandblasting techniques.
On your order please add details of what you would like engraved, it can be images, words or a combination of both.
On each bottle unless otherwise stated the engraving area is the front face of the bottle, we will arrange and size your design to best fit.
Text
For wording we will as standard centre align and size the text based on the design and the amount to be engraved.
If you want a specific font let us know or we can chose one to fit.
As the old saying goes "less is more", shorter lines look better as the font can be larger.
Images
We have a large library of images to cover most occasions so if you have something in mind just describe it and we can provide options.
If you are looking for a specific logo or crest you can upload a file such as a word document, ai file or pdf and if we don't have it we will professionally convert it to engrave at no extra charge.
The limits to this are the image had to be definable into black and white so unfortunately we cannot convert photos and some other designs.
If there are any issues with an uploaded design we will contact you by email about an alternative.
Labelling
By law we have to maintain certain details about the bottle from the label such as the brand name, producer details as well as volume and alcohol content. This is engraved on the back of the bottle as a special version of the label.
Please note due to licencing we cannot engrave Army/MOD crests on bottles
Engraving Process
After ordering we will take your details and design your engraving templates, then email them to you for approval.
On the design the areas in black will be engraved so appear silver white on the engraved item.
It is very important that you check these designs carefully for any errors because the order cannot be changed or cancelled once engraved.
Once approved the design template is and printed then transferred to a special mask which can be engraved through.
The mask is applied to the engraving area and high pressure sand is used to cut the glass.
In the final stage a special paint is infilled into the engraving to enhance the finish.
