GRAHAMS Founded in 1820 by William and John Graham in Portugals Douro Valley, for nearly two centuries Grahams has cultivated its reputation as one of the greatest names in Port. The quality of Grahams Port relies on the finest grapes from five iconic quintas in the Douro Valley Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta das Lages, and two others, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas, which are privately owned by a member of the Symington family. Located in the heart of the Upper Douro Valley, all of these quintas enjoy the hot and dry microclimate and unique schist soil only found in this region. Together these two factors provide perfect conditions for both the growth and optimum ripening of the grapes.GRAHAMS 30 YEAR OLD TAWNY PORT Time-honoured skills, craftsmanship and dedication are handed down from generation to generation at Grahams in the form of three unique arts the art of blending, the art of cooperage and the art of ageingto produce an extraordinary selection of Tawny Ports.

Lustrous tiger colour. Looking at it, you wouldnt necessarily realise this had been a red wine in its youth. Delicate and beautifully balanced to a hint of rancio but of great age and elegance. Masses of sweetness on the front palate. … Great freshness and lift. So clean! No hint of decay. … A really lovely wine. Thoroughly satisfying and not at all a knock-out drop. 19 Jancis RobinsonPale amber / orange tawny; orange peel and marmalade on the nose, very mellow but still wonderfully fresh and delicate in style; sweeter .., delicate but not fragile, mellifluous, long, gentle and suave. Great poise. Outstanding for a 30 year old. Richard Mayson – Graham
