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
It was immediately evident during the vintage that the wines would be very intense and fruity. This has been borne out by their development and Graham's 1994
Vintage is rich, deep coloured and packed with fruit. It is distinctly reminiscent of the Graham's 1970.
The viticultural year
After a number of exceptionally dry years, the very wet winter of 1993/4 came as a great relief and replaced valuable water reserves. March and April were beautifully warm, rapidly bringing on the development of the vines. The weather for the remainder of spring and summer was ideal with the vines developing under
perfect conditions. Vintage started on the 21st September at Malvedos with the grapes in better condition than had been seen for many years. The vintage took place with warm dry days and cool nights.
Vintage overview
Classic, monumental wines with fabulous rich fruit character. An outstanding Vintage. Probably one of the best of the 20th Century. General declaration.
