  • Today our Wine Director, Master of Wine, David Allen tastes an age indicated, wood matured Port - Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny.
    Graham's is a prominent Port house with vineyards in northern Portugal's Douro Valley.
    The company began as a textile company in the early 1800s by brothers William and John Graham in Glasgow, who received a barrel of Port as payment for a debt. The business grew from there, and today, Graham's is owned by the Symington family who own several other port houses, including Dow's and Warre's.
    The house makes a range of Port styles, including the classic tawny, ruby and white expressions, as well as many declared vintages and single-quinta bottlings. The Quinta dos Malvedos vineyard provides many of the grapes for Graham's vintage ports, and is considered one of the company's finest holdings, acquired in 1890. It is planted predominantly to Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, both of which thrive in the sunny, dry terroir.
    The rest of the portfolio comes from several other vineyards in the Douro owned by the Symington family. The Graham's cellar is located across the river from Porto in Vila Nova de Gaia, and is home to the house's extensive collection of aging ports.

    20 year is the sweet spot. We get a bottle each Thanksgiving and have tried all the offerings. 20 has become our go to with chocolate pecan pie.

    did you say, 'bacon fat' i must try this.

      Indeed I did say bacon fat - perhaps 'bacon rind' would have been better, just a s a hint in with the candied peel!

      As for which ports to buy? where to start?... I think my favourite houses are Grahams and Taylors, so depending on how much you want to spend their vintage, Single quinta vintage or LBV would be my preference in each of those categories. For easy to obtain Tawny however Warres Otima 10YO is pretty decent and is very readily available.

    Have you tried the 30 year and 10 year versions? If so, how do they compare to this?
