Graham's 30 Year Old Tawny Port Wine, 75 cl

Product Information

The quality of Graham’s Port relies on the finest grapes, primarily sourced from five iconic quintas in the Douro Valley: Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta das Lages and two others, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas, which are privately owned by members of the Symington family. In 1890, Graham’s became one of the first companies in Portugal to make wines from their own vineyards in the premium Douro Valley. Graham’s five vineyards are located in the Douro valley and all have the maximum ‘A’ grade classification. The wine's contact with the wood of the cask works hand-in-hand with time to create one of the world's greatest wines.

This is caused by the addition of distilled grape spirits (such as brandy) to fortify the wine and halt fermentation before all the sugar is converted to alcohol. It has a deep amber color and a bouquet of aromas that include nutty, caramel, and dried fruit notes, with hints of toffee, chocolate, and oak.Because it has already been exposed to oxygen, an open bottle of tawny resists oxidation the longest of all ports.

Currently, Graham’s is the only British Port company that is run independently under one family's control. Thus each genuine port style has a corresponding, often very different, style that can be found in wines made outside Portugal.They are vintage in the sense that they come from the produce of a specific year, but in most other respects are the opposite. The Graham’s Port winery is one of the few in Porto to have its own cooperage team that is in charge of looking after each of the barrels, turning the understanding of wine and wood into an art form. The second thing is the close relationship between the wine, the wood and time, which is crucial to producing exceptional, unforgettable fortified wines. In 1890 GrahamÂ's became one of the first Port companies to invest in Upper Douro vineyards with the acquisition of the famous property; Quinta dos Malvedos. Founded in 1820 by William and John Graham in Portugal’s Douro Valley, for nearly two centuries Graham’s has cultivated its reputation as one of the greatest names in Port.
