Churchill’s Douro Red Discovery Mix
Nestled along the steep, sun-drenched terraces of northern Portugal, the Douro Valley is famous for its centuries-old tradition of producing world-renowned Port wine. But there’s another story unfolding—a story of exceptional table wines that should be on everyone's list to try.
Today we have a lovely range from Churchill's, an estate brilliantly run by Johnny Graham (formally of Cockburns) crafting wines from the region’s unique blend of indigenous grape varieties—like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz—these Douro table wines deliver a remarkable balance of power and finesse. The reds are rich and full-bodied, with layers of dark red fruit, spice, and floral notes. The Meio Queijo & Red Grafite range are perfect introductions to the region, unbelievable value considering the quality and old vine concentration. Our pick is the range, direct from Churchill's cool cellars is the perfectly aged 2017 Touriga Nacional, this was a revelation and shows the benefit of ageing wine. Mature, complex and elegant this wine is in the zone and good to go!
If you haven’t tried the new wave of contemporary Portuguese table wines from the Douro Valley this is your perfect opportunity. Churchill’s Douro Red Discovery Mix is a brilliant introduction to the revolution that is Douro table wine.
