Graham’s re-launch Tawny Ports

Graham’s port has re-launched its range of cask-matured Tawny Ports.

The traditional style of Graham’s Tawny Ports has been maintained, using the wines set aside decades ago in the Graham’s 1890 lodge.

However, Charles Symington, 4th generation winemaker and blender, has worked to further develop the wines’ secondary flavours.

These blending refinements have resulted from the use of some of Graham’s greatest assets: the long-term investment in very substantial stocks of Tawny Ports ageing in the 1890 Lodge, and the use of a large number of seasoned oak casks, many over 100 years old, in which all Graham’s Tawny Ports are aged.

In an important step, Charles and his cousins have decided to use only wines matured in the Graham’s 1890 Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia and to exclude wines aged in the Douro.

As a tribute to the people who help make these wines, the signature of Emílio Correia, Graham’s master cooper is on the 20 Years Old label and that of António Monteiro, Graham’s cellar master, is on the 30 Years Old, both alongside that of Charles Symington, master blender.

The new range of Graham’s Tawny Ports is presented in an especially commissioned white glass bottle.
