Brand Story

Founded in 1820 by brothers William and John Graham, Graham’s Port quickly became known as a producer of exceptional ports. This success culminated in the building of the Graham’s Lodge in Gaia and the acquisition of Quinta dos Malvedos in 1890.
In 1882, Andrew James Symington sailed from Scotland to Porto to work for the Graham family, thus beginning the long association between the families. In 1970, Andrew’s grandsons acquired the company from the Graham family, and have continued to grow its reputation for producing incredible ports.

Product Detail

The 1997 growing season was unusual. An incredibly cold winter brought snowfall to the Douro Valley, followed by unusually warm and dry weather in February and March. The pre-harvest heat allowed for excellent final ripening, resulting in a year of low, but incredibly concentrated and balanced yields.

Tasting Notes

Nose : Aromas of preserved quince (marmalade) with traces of vanilla, sweet caramel as well as notes of honey and raisins. The aged wood is reflected in the delicate almond and marzipan notes. An attractive smoky element is just noticeable in the background.

Palate : Red fruit flavors, rounded by barrel aging but still fresh with an underlying citric acidity that gives balance to the wine. 

Finish : Satisfyingly long, aftertaste with a subtle combination of nuts, tea and tobacco.
