Graham’s has been producing exceptional Port in the Douro Valley since 1820, establishing themselves as one of the region’s most respected houses. This 20-year-old expression represents a careful selection of wines aged in oak, blended to achieve the perfect balance of fruit and maturity. The extended ageing process creates a tawny hue and develops the characteristic nutty, dried fruit character that defines this style.

Nose: Rich aromas of toasted almonds and dried figs greet you first, followed by notes of orange peel, butterscotch and subtle hints of vanilla. There’s a beautiful complexity here, with layers of caramel, raisin and a touch of spice that reveals itself gradually.

Palate: Smooth and luxurious on the palate, offering flavours of candied orange, walnut and toffee that interweave seamlessly. The texture is silky, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity that prevents any cloying sensation. Dried apricot and mellow spice notes add depth and character throughout.

Finish: Long and warming, with persistent nutty flavours and a gentle sweetness that lingers beautifully. The finish showcases subtle oak influence and dried fruit notes that invite another sip.

This Port pairs exceptionally well with blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, or caramelised nut tarts. It also complements aged cheddar and traditional Christmas pudding perfectly.

Serve slightly chilled at around 12-14°C in a Port glass or small wine glass to concentrate the aromas. Decanting isn’t necessary for Tawny Port, as the wine has already been filtered and is ready to enjoy immediately.

This is the bottle for collectors who appreciate aged fortified wines, anyone looking for a distinguished gift, or those special occasions that call for something truly elegant. At this price point, it offers remarkable quality and the prestige of extended barrel ageing that simply cannot be rushed.
