It is a relative newcomer to the Port trade, being the first British Port house founded for 50 years when set up in 1981. It is now the last British house with independent status. A full range of Ports is made, including ruby, white, aged tawny, LBV, Single Quinta (da Gricha) and Vintage offerings. The vintage releases combine rich fruit with tannic structure, and tend to be drier than similar wines from other houses. The estate was founded by Johnny and Caroline Graham of the Graham family who had owned Graham's Port until it was sold to the Symington family in 1970. The new house was given Caroline Graham's maiden name, Churchill, and quickly established a reputation for the high quality of its wines. Johnny Graham had previously made wine at Cockburn's and Taylor's. After many years of working mainly with the grower Borges de Sousa, the company bought Quinta da Gricha in 1999, a 50-hectare (124-acre) estate in the Cima Gorgo sub-region of the Douro Valley. The property is named for the gricha (spring) which feeds the vines, which sit between 150 and 400 meters altitude (490 to 1,300ft). Another vineyard, the warm, sunny Quinta do Rio in the Rio Torto, was purchased at the same time. It is used to produce gutsier wines for blending. All of Churchill's Ports are now produced in the winery at Quinta da Gricha. Grapes are hand picked and sorted twice before foot crushing in traditional lagares (grape-trading tanks), which were built in 1852. Native yeasts are used for fermentation, which lasts 12 to 24 hours longer than the norm for a drier style. Wine tastings and vietard tours are possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47769311576202,"sku":null,"price":261.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/64_e3789813-fade-4e32-adc7-3a5b0966a504.jpg?v=1772727661","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es-be\/products\/1998-churchills-vintage-port","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
