Graham's 20 Year Old Aged Tawny Port

Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny Port hails from Portugal's Douro Valley, a region recognized as the world's first demarcated wine area and the only place authentic Port wine is produced. The Graham's brand itself was established in 1820 by Scottish brothers William and John Graham, who quickly built a reputation for exceptional Ports. This particular expression is a classic, resulting from the art of blending, cooperage, and ageing, handed down through generations. Graham's, now owned by the Symington family (who have their own long history in Port production since 1882), is renowned for the richness, concentration, and complexity of its wines, with Quinta dos Malvedos being a cornerstone vineyard since 1890. The 20 Year Old Tawny is a testament to their mastery, perfected over two decades to achieve a balance between younger and aged Port wines.

Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny Port delivers a nutty character with mature fruit and orange peel notes from its two decades in oak. It’s rich, smooth, and balanced, making it a treat on its own or a sophisticated addition to cocktails, particularly those that benefit from depth and caramel or dried fruit nuances, often replacing sweet vermouth.

Expect a nutty aroma, like almonds and walnuts, mingled with mature fruit and a hint of orange peel. The palate is rich, smooth, and softly sweet, revealing toffee and caramel notes. It finishes long and elegantly, with lingering hints of hazelnut and dried fruit.
