Fine Tawny: a young tawny with fruit, nuts and caramel.
Tasting note
Light brown, lighter in colour and texture than a ruby and slightly drier. It keeps some of the rich, fruity style of a young Port, with the first nutty and caramel notes of an aged tawny.
The story
The young wine ages for an average of three years in seasoned oak casks, where it slowly comes into contact with oxygen.
According to Drinks International, Graham’s was the world’s most admired Port brand in 2016.
Food pairing
Lightly chilled, lovely with creamy, ripe cheeses, crème caramel and nut and almond tart.
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.
