The aromatic profile unfolds with pronounced spicy notes, while the palate delivers a rich, creamy texture. Subtle hints of cedar and dry spices complement the wine's structure, culminating in a long, velvety, and elegantly structured finish.

Quinta da Gricha is located on the South bank of the river Douro between Pinhão and Tua with a North facing aspect. The 50 hectare property comprises a vineyard area of approximately 40 hectares. Named for the natural spring (“gricha”) that feeds the north-facing vineyards, Quinta da Gricha sits in a microclimate at 150 to 400 meters above sea level, with a wind exposure that naturally regulates humidity. Our oldest vines are over 70 years old and produce wines with vibrant natural acidity and complexity. This Vintage Port was sourced exclusively from the old vineyards on the estate (+70 years).
The Churchill flagship quinta has produced a serious style of Port. Dry and richly structured, it also has jammy red-berry fruits that will cushion the firmness. Drink the wine from 2029. -R.V.
