Fine Ruby: youthful and full, with blackberries and redcurrants.
Tasting note
Deeply coloured and intensely aromatic, full-bodied, with youthful freshness. A rich, generous Port full of blackberries and redcurrants: an everyday Port.
The story
The Fine Ruby is bottled young, after about two years in oak casks, to keep the assertive fruit typical of the Graham’s style.
Food pairing
Lightly chilled as an aperitif with soft cheese (Brie, Port Salut) or hard cheese, (smoked) ham and dried fruit. Also lovely with chocolate, fresh fruit and red or wild berry desserts.
The producer
Graham’s was founded in 1820 by the Scottish brothers William and John Graham, textile merchants who accepted a consignment of Port in Porto as payment of a debt and then devoted themselves entirely to Port. In 1890 they built their lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia and bought Quinta dos Malvedos, the heart of their Vintage Ports ever since.
In 1970 the Symington family bought Graham’s. The grapes come from four of the house’s own quintas in the Douro: Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas. Malvedos lies on the north bank of the Douro, with south-facing vineyards.
