winemakers

Johnny Graham and Ricardo Pinto Nunes.

"De uma só parcela, é um varietal de Touriga Nacional (...). Muito boa concentração de cor, com notas de violetas e longínquas sugestões citrinas. Na boca temos um vinho muito focado, fino e elegante, com taninos macios e acidez ajustada. Um tinto sério, mas generoso na fruta."

17.5 Pts, João Paulo Martins, Vinho Grandes Escolhas

"This is a medium- to full-bodied red with ripe dark berries, sweet spices, crushed walnuts and cocoa on offer. Ripe supple tannins and a mellow raspberry and mulberry character. Creamy, polished and long. Drink or hold."

92 Pts, James Suckling

Quinta Da Gricha is Churchill's flagship vineyard in the heart of the Cima Cargo in the Douro Valley, with 'lagares' dating back to 1852. Benefiting from a north-facing exposure, Quinta da Gricha produces wines with a raw vibrancy and excellent natural acidity.

Talhão 8 is sourced from the oldest Touriga Nacional plot at Quinta da Gricha. This wine has plenty of intensity on the nose, combining menthol, fresh blueberries and wild basil aromas, and an exuberant palate.

Bright black cherry with a red cherry edge. Elegant and subtle on the nose, with aromas of fresh spices and menthol. Lush on the palate, it reveals its spicy character supported by notes of green peppers and a well-defined acidity.
