The palate is a gamut of flavours, ranging from delicate fruit and raisins to burnt toffee and chocolate.

Red port can be made from many types of grapes (castas), but the main ones are Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional. Aged tawny port is a blend of several vintages, with the average years ""in wood"" stated on the label: 10, 15, 20, and 30 years are common.TIME-HONOURED skills, craftsmanship and dedication are handed down from generation to generation at GRAHAM’S in the form of three unique arts – the art of blending, the art of cooperage and the art of ageing – to produce an extraordinary selection of Tawny Ports. Crusted port is a blend of port wine from several years, but retains the crust otherwise restricted to vintage ports. Although it bears the word ""vintage"" in its name, single-Quinta Vintage Port is produced from a particular vineyard and usually from a lesser ""undeclared"" year. This wine’s contact with the wood of the cask works hand-in-hand with time to create one of our greatest wines.

In contrast to vintage port's short time in barrel, LBV port is aged between four to six years in barrel, to mature it more quickly. Graham’s wines are produced in the five mountain vineyards located in the Upper Douro region in Portugal.The General Wine Company sources wines from all over the world, but with a particular focus on small, independent producers. Yalumba has released a 50 year old tawny and Hardy's Whiskers Blake, Rosemount's Old Benson and Galway Pipe are also made in the traditional manner. All of Graham’s Tawny Ports have their own individual characteristics, the complex flavours and aromas that pervade each of these unique wines have been developed through selecting only our top quality wines from Graham’s four spectacular Quinta’s in the Douro Valley to age in seasoned oak casks in our 1890 Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia. unless we get written confirmation from you that this is acceptable and that you will take full responsibilty if the parcel goes missing.
