Description
A rare and opulent bottling, Churchill's 30 Year Old Tawny is composed of reserve wines aged for three decades in seasoned oak casks, sourced from the family's finest old-vine plots. This extended ageing imparts a deep mahogany colour and a complex bouquet of cigar box, dried figs, caramel, cedarwood, and exotic spice. The palate is luxurious and silky, offering multi-layered notes of toffee, honey, candied citrus peel and roasted nuts, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. At 19.5% ABV and bottled in elegant 500ml format, this tawny is an outstanding digestif or accompaniment to blue cheese, dried fruit or desserts featuring caramel and nuts. Churchill's 30 Year Old Tawny embodies the ultimate in Douro craftsmanship and stands as a testament to the estate's dedication to producing long-lived, nuanced fortified wines.
