Churchill's 40 Year Old Tawny Port Douro NV

Churchill's Port was the first new Port house founded in 50 years when John Graham — Graham's Port family lineage, former Cockburn's director by 28 — launched it in 1981. Unable to use his own family name after the sale to Symington, he built a new house under his wife's name and went after the British market with small-production, distinctive wines. This is the flagship.

Forty years in seasoned oak casks. World's Best Port at the World Port Awards. Premio 'Escolha da imprensa' 2025 from Revista Grandes Escolhas. 96 points from both Falstaff and Revista de Vinhos. This is the pinnacle of aged Tawny Port — a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cao from the Duriense region, crafted by Johnny Graham and Ricardo Pinto Nunes.

Bright copper in the glass. Intense hazelnuts and honey on the nose, with aniseed and citrus threading through. Rich and elegant on the palate — raisins, citrus, spice — with a savoury note balancing the sweetness and a fresh finish that refuses to quit. The kind of Port that makes you understand why people collect the category.

Filtered and ready now. Serve at cellar temperature, 12º–14ºC. Best enjoyed within two years of bottling. $89.99 for a World's Best Port winner with four decades in barrel.
