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 "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.
