Churchill's Quinta da Gricha 2019 Vintage Port was the result of an overall dry viticultural year in 2018/2019, with lower precipitation levels and higher temperatures than average, with January and June being colder than average, while December and May were hotter than usual. Despite heavy rainfall in April, good weather conditions in the months that followed allowed the bunches to be in excellent shape to start picking in the middle of September. Some rainfall occurred during the harvest, which had a positive impact on the maturation, allowing for the production of wines with good colour intensity and natural acidity and lower alcohol levels than average.
