Vintage ports are made from a single exceptional harvest, and only when declared a vintage year. 

It spends a short time in wood (30 months), and then Bottled unfiltered.

These ports are made to mature in the bottle for many years. 

The white mark on a Churchill's Port bottle, also called a "splash mark," indicates how the bottle was stored in the cellar, allowing the sediment to settle on the opposite side.

A Vintage Port in the classic style, not so matured as the 1994 but with a concentration of fresher and “greener”fruit. 

It has a good tannin structure which binds and balances the fruit and ensures good ageing potential.

Deep brick red colour. Seductive on the nose, with notes of fresh mint and menthol. 

On the palate, a combination of black nougat, and green capers, with a elegant grip, and acidity.

Serving Suggestions: The wine benefits from being served slightly chilled, between 16º-18ºC. 

All Vintage Port throws a sediment as it has been aged in bottle. It is therefore essential to decant this wine. 

Decanting: To decant, simply hold the bottle with the white mark facing up, keeping the sediment in place at the bottom.

Store the bottle lying down, protected from light, and at a cool and constant temperature. 

Food Pairing: This Port is the perfect way to round off a good dinner.
