The Porto Churchill's house is the most recent since it was only established in 1981. Johnny Graham named his house after his wife's maiden name, Caroline Churchill. Before embarking on this adventure, Johnny Graham studied at Taylor's and Cockburn. Johnny Graham is therefore not a newcomer to the world of port, especially since he has benefited from the wise advice of his two brothers, William Graham and Anthony Graham.
The Churchill’s house only sells ports whose grapes come from vines classified "A" by the Port Wines Institute, only Grands Crus of some sort! Exceptional terroirs that she owns.
Starting with the Agua Alta, Manuela and Fojo estates, which belonged to the late Jorge Borges, of the Sousa family.
More recently, the Churchill's company acquired the Quinta da Gricha (100 hectares on the south bank of the Douro), Quinta da Rio (20 hectares in the Rio Torto valley) vineyards, and also operates the Quinta da Perdiz (30 hectares).
In addition to this enhancement of quintas in what they may have specific in terms of terroir, the Churchilll house is also attached to the notion of vintage, essentially making wines from old vines from its estates.
Churchill's only retains Ports with the potential of “vintage”, that is to say Ports that will be vintage, with an exceptionally long aging potential (40 to 50 years), and LBV (Late Bottled Vintage). traditional, unfiltered, which are gently handled when serving to preserve the deposit at the bottom of the bottle.
It is this intransigence in the pursuit of quality that has already enabled the House of Churchill’s to obtain excellent comments from Anglo-Saxon scholars.
