R E S E R V E P O R T
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
RICH - WILD BERRY – EXPRESSIVE
Churchill’s Reserve Port is our signature house blend, produced from the
same vineyards from which Churchill’s vintage ports are sourced. Matured
in seasoned oak vats for three years, our signature house blend is rich,
complex and unusually fruity, with distinctive wild berry aromas. A vibrant
and expressive young Port with plenty of natural acidity, balance and
pedigree.
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: Bright, full ruby colour with violet tones.
Nose: Fresh blueberries and hints of eucalyptus and gum cistus.
Palate: A vibrant young port with plenty of natural acidity and balance.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Like all other Churchill’s Ports, the component wines of this Reserve blend
have been vinified in traditional granite ‘lagares’ (treading tanks). The young
ports spend their first winter in the Douro and are then transported in the
early spring to our ageing lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia. Here they mature in
seasoned oak vats for a period of 3 years before bottling. During this time
they are carefully blended, racked and refreshed each year to ensure that
they reach the bottle in perfect condition. Before bottling they are cold
treated and filtered to guarantee a level of colour and tartrate stability
during their first two years in bottle.
CELLARING
Filtered and ready for immediate drinking so does not require bottle ageing.
SERVING
Delicious on its own or as a pairing with fruit, chocolate desserts or soft
cheeses.
Best enjoyed within 2 years of bottling. Serve at cellar temperature (12º-14ºC).
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.
