30 Years Old Tawny: dried fruit, caramel and honey, with a finish that never seems to fade.
Tasting note
Amber, light orange. A beautiful, broad bouquet dominated by dried fruit. Excellent length, with a caramelised, juicy, fruity, honeyed and velvety finish that never seems to fade.
The story
A tawny with an indication of age is a blend of Ports aged for a long time in oak casks: the age reflects the average character of the blend. It is ready to drink and does not improve with keeping.
The blend ages for an average of thirty years in 534-litre oak casks.
Food pairing
Fabulous with dark chocolate, but above all a perfect digestif.
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.
