Grafite

2015 Douro Touriga Nacional

Churchill's Grafite is a striking red wine crafted from the renowned Touriga Nacional varietal, showcasing the rich heritage of the Douro region. This 2015 vintage presents a captivating deep garnet color, hinting at its bold character. With a full-bodied structure, the wine envelops the palate with a smooth, well-integrated texture and remarkable depth. The acidity is high, providing a vibrant and lively mouthfeel that enhances its overall freshness. Prominent fruit intensity bursts forth with luscious notes of dark berries, plum, and a hint of dark chocolate, harmoniously balanced by notable, firm tannins that lend structure and ageability. This exceptional wine is dry, making it versatile for pairing with an array of dishes, or simply to be enjoyed on its own, reflecting the essence of its terroir with every sip.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
