Graham's Single Harvest Tawny Port Porto

Description

Graham's This wine marks the beginning of a journey, from apprentice to cellar master. It celebrates the deep knowledge of the vineyard and the mastery of tasting that are essential to creating Graham's exceptional aged wood-matured Port wines. At the 1997 harvest, Graham's current Director of Winemaking, Charles Symington, was his father Peter's apprentice. Although that year produced extraordinary wines, which were bottled as Vintage Port, Peter chose some of the finest to age for an extended period in wood. More than 25 years later, Charles selected the remaining casks for a limited edition. The 1997 growing season was unusual. An incredibly cold winter brought snow to the Douro Valley, followed by unseasonably warm and dry weather in February and March. The high temperatures before the harvest allowed for an excellent final ripening period, resulting in a low-yield year of remarkable concentration and balance. Graham's 1997 Single Harvest is a fabulous accompaniment to creamy or nut-based desserts, such as crème brûlée or almond tart. It is also delightful enjoyed on its own after a meal. Serving the wine chilled is recommended. Once opened, enjoy within 6 to 8 weeks. Awards 97/100 – James Suckling – Top 100 Portuguese Wines 2023 Allergen Information Contains sulphites. SKU: 107174
