Graham's
Graham's wines come primarily from its own Quinta dos Malvedos near Tua and Quinta das Lages in the Rio Torto. Two others, privately owned by a member of
the Symington family, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta de Vale de Malhadas, also supply Graham with finest quality grapes. All four Quintas are among the best in the upper Douro valley. Graham's also buys grapes from selected farmers in the finest districts. Some of these farmers have been selling their grapes to Graham's
for generations.
Tasting notes
Fine deep ruby colour. With a rich and intense nose of ripe red fruits, combined with concentrated floral aromas of violets and minty eucalyptus. On the palate
showing a full-bodied structure, bold tannins, and a long and intense fruit finish.
The viticultural year
A cold and dry winter was followed by a very wet spring. This harmed the flowering, a moderate summer did not help, with the variable weather leading to the vines being about a month behind normal. All was saved with a glorious September, turning what had seemed like being a very poor vintage into an excellent one.
Vintage overview
An exceptional Vintage, with outstanding, powerful wines, and tremendous depth of colour. The best are just beginning to show their true pedigree. These wines have plenty of time ahead and are developing into a first class vintage year.
