Graham’s Aged Tawny Ports are based on over 200 years of tradition and are a tribute to the craftsmanship and skills passed down through generations. Graham’s 40 Year Old Tawny is a testament to time and tradition. Graham’s Master Blender blends this selection of wines that were set aside in the cellar by his great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and uncles. He also reserves wines for future generations. This is a delight for all of us who appreciate the taste of time.
A port of this caliber should be enjoyed slightly chilled as a dessert, just as it is. Alternatively, it pairs exceptionally well with mature cheeses, nuts, or creamy desserts.
An incredibly complex and powerful aroma that lively contradicts its own age. When tasting, you will experience a wide range of flavors, from delicate notes of fruit and raisins to roasted caramel and chocolate with an outstanding aftertaste.
About W & J Graham’s Few places in the world are more beautiful than the Douro Valley and the city of Porto. You become aware of this when visiting Graham’s both in the Douro Valley and in Porto. The grapes come from the Douro Valley (otherwise port wine cannot be called port), and the wine is aged in Porto, where Graham’s Lodge is located with an unusually beautiful view of the lovely Porto. It’s a city we can only recommend traveling to.
In 1820, the Graham brothers received 27 casks of port wine as payment for unpaid debt. It went so well selling them that the two enterprising Scots developed a taste for the special wine. They decided not only to produce port wine but to produce the best port wines in the entire Douro Valley. This was the beginning of W & J Graham’s.
Three centuries of port wine tradition and experience naturally give Graham’s strong foundations—and ensure a set of values that are still cornerstones of the business. Therefore, the company’s motto is ‘Do Not Forget’. Traditions, experience, and knowledge are passed down through generations while the company continually focuses on innovation.
In 1882, the young Scot Andrew James Symington was hired, but after a few years, he moved on to other parts of the port wine world. However, when Graham’s faced financial difficulties in 1970 and needed a capital injection, Symington’s grandchildren took the opportunity to buy the company. Today, the Symington family holds a central position in the port wine industry and owns some of the best houses. Today, five cousins with roots in port wine production and the Douro Valley dating back to the 1600s manage the production.
