The first sip of Graham’s 10 Year Old Tawny Port wraps you in a warm embrace of caramelized figs, toasted almonds, and orange peel, unfolding with a silky richness that lingers long after the glass is empty.

Producer Information: W & J Graham’s
W & J Graham’s, established in 1820 in Porto, Portugal, began as a family business founded by brothers William and John Graham who initially traded textiles before dedicating themselves to the production of premium port wines in the Douro Valley. Their commitment to quality is rooted in their ownership of key vineyards such as Quinta dos Malvedos, where steep schist terraces and unique microclimates yield grapes with exceptional concentration and character. Graham’s is distinguished by its focus on traditional foot-treading methods in granite lagares, which extract color and flavor gently while preserving the integrity of the fruit. Beyond their iconic Vintage Ports, they also craft aged Tawny Ports celebrated for their complexity and balance, but do not produce table wines or spirits outside the port category, maintaining a singular dedication to fortified wine excellence from this historic Portuguese region.

Porto, commonly known as Port wine, is a fortified wine originating from the Douro Valley in Portugal. It is made primarily from a blend of grapes including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão. The fortification process involves adding grape spirit (aguardente) during fermentation to halt the process and preserve the natural sugars, resulting in a range of sweetness levels from dry styles like Branco to sweeter varieties such as Ruby and Tawny.
The aging methods for Porto vary significantly among its types. Ruby Porto is typically aged in large oak casks for a shorter duration, showcasing rich red fruit flavors like cherry and raspberry with hints of chocolate. In contrast, Tawny Porto undergoes longer aging in smaller barrels that allow for oxidation and evaporation, developing nutty flavors alongside dried fruits and caramel notes. Vintage Porto is aged briefly in cask before being bottled for several years; it offers intense dark fruit flavors with floral and earthy complexities as it matures. Each style pairs beautifully with specific foods—Ruby with dark chocolate desserts or strong cheeses; Tawny with nuts or crème brûlée; Vintage best enjoyed on its own or alongside decadent dishes.
