About Churchill's

Churchill's was founded by John Graham, who aimed to maintain the long family tradition of producing quality Port wines while creating a product with his own brand, style, and image. The company's portfolio includes fortified and non-fortified wines, such as Port wine, dry white Port, Tawny Port, Reserve Port, LBV Port, Crusted Port, and Vintage Port. Additionally, Churchill's is involved in the production of DOC Douro wines.

The brand's history is intertwined with the Graham family and the acquisition of Quinta da Gricha, which enabled the production of DOC Douro table wines. The company exports approximately 80% of its Port and DOC Douro wine production, with the U.K., the U.S., Sweden, and Brazil being some of its main markets. The brand's name "Churchill's" is derived from John Graham's wife's family name, Caroline Churchills, and it has become synonymous with consistent and great quality Port wines.
