"1991 year means freshness and elegance. A very well defined Vintage that will keep on ageing beautifully in the bottle for many years." At the time of the declaration, most of the wines were fresh and vibrant with strong tannic notes. Today, I am amazed at the slow development of this 1991. I think it is still very young and needs at least another 10 years to be at its best! - Johnny Graham, 2021.
Deep purple color. Still closed in the nose. Shows excellent structure and complexity on the palate, with great tannic background.
Produced with old vines from the Cima Corgo sub-region in the Douro Valley, this Churchill's 1982 Vintage Port combines the more concentrated and powerful style of Quinta da Água Alta with the elegant and aromatic style of Quinta da Manuela and Quinta do Fojo.
THE YEAR
The winter of 1990/91 was generally dry until early January, followed by heavy rain until March. April was also wet and the planting season started in May, with a hot and dry weather. Summer continued hot and dry and the shoots were excellent, which led to an abundance of fruit on the vines. Warm days alternated with cool nights ensured long fermentations with excellent color extraction. Sugar levels were higher than usual and in fact continued to rise throughout the harvest.
