GRAHAM’S LATE BOTTLED VINTAGE PORT 2019

Founded in 1820 by William and John Graham in Portugal’s Douro Valley, for two centuries Graham’s has cultivated its reputation as one of the greatest names in Port. The quality of Graham’s Port relies on the finest grapes, primarily sourced from four iconic quintas in the Douro Valley.

Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"This 2019 Late Bottled Vintage Port was produced from grapes sourced from Graham’s four vineyard estates located in various prime sites in the mountainous Douro Valley. At Quinta dos Malvedos, Graham’s flagship vineyard, we had some exceptionally well-timed rain at the end of August (22mm), which made a real difference two weeks before the vintage was due to start.This compensated for the very dry conditions through most of the spring and summer.

Aromas of great purity and freshness,revealing blackberry and blackcurrant with a trace of liquorice, gradually giving way to attractive floral notes of rock rose (cistus) and the signature Graham’s mint and eucalyptus. Sandwiched between the delicious black fruit flavours is a very appealing hint of exotic fruit, suggesting mango and papaya. Bright and succulent on the palate with peppery tannins providing a touch of seasoning and a wonderful sense of balance. Ends with a lingering note of black tea.

Principally Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional with smaller contributions of Sousão, Alicante Bouschet as well as Tinta Amarela and Tinta Barroca."
