NOTES
VINEYARD: 10 Year Old Tawny Port grapes come from the old vineyards at Churchill's estates located in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro Wine region.
VINIFICATION: Churchill’s 10 Year Old Tawny starts its life as a young Vintage Port. It is partly aged in large oak vats before finishing its maturation in traditional port pipes. After fermentation, 10 Year Old Tawny goes through an aging period in seasoned oak casks for approximately 10 years.
TASTING NOTES: Although fully aged in wood, it retains the freshness of youth, which is reflected in its darker brick red color and lively finish. A rich brick red color with flashes of amber, elegant and subtle, complex on the nose, with expressive notes of dry fruits combined with hints of orange peel, full on the mouth, this wine shows an excellent vinosity and freshness, allowing it to finish long and persistently.
No need to decant. Serve 10 Year Old Tawny straight from the bottle. Serve chilled (10 -12 ºC).
