Grahams

The history of W & J Graham’s spans three centuries and throughout that time this acclaimed Port producer has remained an independent family business. The story of Graham’s is the story of two families, both of Scottish origin – the Grahams and the Symingtons – whose commitment to the making of memorable wines has earned for Graham’s a reputation as a leader in the production of outstanding Vintage Ports. Graham's Lodge The imposing proportions of the Graham’s Lodge (1905) W & J Graham’s was founded in Oporto, Portugal’s second city, in 1820 by the two brothers William and John Graham. The Graham family already had extensive business interests not just in their native Scotland but also in India.

Selected from the finest production of a very good year, but unlike a declared vinage - which is bottled in its second year, LBV matures for an average of 5 years in seasoned oak casts prior to bottling (hence the term 'Late Bottled') This wood aging encourages the wines development and it is therefore ready to drink sooner than vintage port. As with the latter, Late Bottled Vintage Ports are sourced from the Malvedos vineyard. Possesses attrative liquorice and floral aromas and fresh, ripe blackberry fruit flavour.
