Graham’s Fine Ruby Port

With Graham port wines from the Douro valley you get what you expect - reliability and excellent value for money. Graham’s Fine Ruby is a perfect example of this.It is a deep ruby-red in the glass. Its bouquet hints at red and black berries. On the palate, the wine offers notes of cherries and blackberries and aromas of red fruit. The finish is extremely long and likewise characterised by an abundance of fruit.Graham’s Fine Ruby is a port wine for any occasion, as it preserves precisely the right balance between a sumptuous richness and young, fresh fruit. Its intense aromas result from two years of ageing in oak casks. This seems to be the appropriate period of time for this port to develop its quality to the fullest.The round and extremely fruity character make it an everyday port wine that is lovely to enjoy on its own. It also goes beautifully with cheeses or chocolate desserts.It is not necessary to decant the Graham’s Fine Ruby. We recommend serving it at a temperature between 53.6 and 60.8° F.

Graham’s

Graham’s ist die Geschichte der Familien Graham und Symington, in deren Besitz das Unternehmen seit nunmehr zusammengerechnet drei Jahrhunderten ist. Graham’s steht für Tradition und Innovation im Douro-Tal und produziert seit je her feinsten Port, sowohl im Einstiegsbereich bis hin zu Vintage-Ports oder Portweinen aus besonderen Lagen.

Es begann damit, dass die schottischen Brüder William und John Graham, die ihr Geld als erfolgreiche Unternehmer im Handel mit Indien verdienten, im Jahre 1820 im Austausch für die Lieferung von Waren 27 Fässer Port akzeptierten. Ganz offenbar gefiel den Herren Graham der Port so gut, dass sie kurz darauf beschlossen, selbst mit Port zu handeln.

1890 wurde der nächste Schritt getan und man erwarb das Weingut Quinta dos Malvedos im Douro-Tal. Die Qualität der Weine dieses Gutes, welches über beste Lagen, Boden und Klima verfügt, war und ist herausragend, sodass sich der Name Graham’s als Garant für Premium Ports etablierte. In der Folge wurde weitere Weingüter akquiriert, die alle im Privatbesitz der Mitglieder der Familie Symington stehen. 

Diese übernahm 1970 das Unternehmen, wobei die Symingtons bereits seit 4 Generationen in der Portweinherstellung tätig sind. Gegenwärtig ist Charles Symington der Master Blender; einer seiner Vorfahren AJ Symington, war bereits vor einhundert Jahren bei den Graham's tätig, so dass sich hier der Kreis schließt.

Graham's ist angesiedelt in Vila Nova de Gaia, wo sich auch Graham's 1890 Lodge befindet, in wunderschöner Lage am Ufer des Río Douro gelegen.  Dort angeschlossen ist auch das Restaurant, mit Blick von der Terrasse auf die pittoreske Altstadt von Porto.

Graham’s Fine Tawny Port

This is due to the fact that the Fine Tawny is not too sweet and slightly on the lighter side, yet impressive with its rich fruit aromas and wonderful notes of nuts.This port wine matured for three years in wooden casks, developing intense aromas of ripe and dried fruit and caramel. Its character is that of a young, fruity port wine, already influenced by notes of wood, giving this wine qualities of a ripe port. In short, this wine has precisely the right mixture that makes a successful port wine. It is a reddish-gold in the glass, caressing the palate with its great elegance and softness.

Graham’s "The Tawny" Reserve Tawny Port
The Symington family has been producing premium port wines in the Douro valley for five generations now. They put special emphasis on traditional production methods but by no means forget the innovations. The family is still directly involved in the production; the cellar master Charles Symington created this port himself.Graham’s The Tawny is his personal interpretation of a fine port wine aged in wooden casks. The Tawny matured for an average of 7-9 years in oak casks, and was partially blended with considerably older port wines in order to give it more complexity and character.This wine is well-balanced with the abundance of aromas of black and red fruit that wonderfully unite with notes of oranges, orange peel, cinnamon, figs, raisins and plums to create this outstanding taste experience.This amber-coloured port wine is exceptionally aromatic and full-bodied. It is lovely on its own as an aperitif, especially when it’s slightly chilled, or after a good dinner. The Tawny also goes beautifully with almond cake or crème brûlée.

Graham’s Fine White Port
Founded in 1820 by William and John Graham in the Douro valley, the Graham’s estate has long been renowned for premium port wines.The Graham’s Fine White is a particular specialty of the winery as it is made only from white grapes from the Douro valley, namely from the Códega, Malvasia Fina, Rabigato and Viosinho varieties. During the production, the wine has no contact with the skins. The Fine White has a delicious residual sweetness. This is due to the fact that the fermentation is deliberately kept shorter, so that a part of the natural sugar content is not degraded and lovely notes of honey and nectar remain.All this is balanced by a wonderful freshness and a pleasant acidity. This light golden port pampers the senses with aromas of citrus fruit and almonds.We recommend enjoying Graham’s Fine White chilled at a temperature of 42.8-50.0° F, so that it can develop the interplay of freshness and fruit aromas to the fullest.It is a perfect accompaniment to light desserts and hard cheeses. It is also lovely on its own as a classic aperitif.

Niepoort Ruby Port
The deep red Niepoort Ruby Port is fresh, young and fruity on the nose. Its bouquet is characterised by notes of dark fruit (cherries). On the palate, the wine is fruity, showing good extracts, a lovely balance and fine mineral nuances as well. The Niepoort Ruby Port is a young and pleasantly drinkable wine.The grapes come from vines that are more than 30 years old. They grow in low-yield vineyards in the Cima Corgo region, the core of the Douro Valley. The grapes are pressed mainly in ‘lagares’. These are large, low fermentation basins made of granite, concrete or stainless steel. Finally, the wines mature for about three years in large wooden casks in the Niepoort wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.The Niepoort Ruby Port can be stored without any problems for many years while retaining full quality. It does not form any sediment, so you do not have to decant this port wine before drinking it. We recommend enjoying it after a meal, either on its own or with soft cheeses.This wine is also available in 0.375- and 0.05-litre bottles.
