White Blend Nº5: a fresh, medium-dry white Port for the perfect Port and tonic.
The story
A fresh, modern white Port from Malvasia Fina and Moscatel Galego, hand-picked and cold-fermented in small batches. The wine is bottled three months after the harvest to keep it as fresh as possible, and is drunk young. It was made with gin and tonic lovers in mind, with a production of fewer than 6,000 bottles.
Food pairing
Very versatile: as a long drink with tonic or sparkling water, or neat as an aperitif. Perfect long drink: 50 ml of Blend Nº5 over ice, topped with tonic, with lemon and mint.
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.
