Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage 2005: blackberries, plums and flowers, with gold at the IWC and Decanter.
Tasting note
Excellent depth, with sweet blackberries and plums and glorious floral scents. Concentrated and fruity on the palate, perfectly balanced by a firm structure.
The story
In years without a classic Vintage declaration, Graham’s bottles a single quinta Vintage Port from Quinta dos Malvedos, its main vineyard.
A Vintage Port is made only from the best wines of an exceptional year. After about two years in cask it is bottled unfiltered and continues to age in bottle.
Food pairing
A delicious digestif, also with rich aged cheeses, dark chocolate, chocolate mousse and other chocolate 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.
