Porto Tawny 10 Years Old

What kind of wine it is

Graham’s Tawny Port is a sweet fortified red wine, representing the renowned Porto denomination. It is crafted from a meticulous blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Amarela grapes. In the glass, it displays an amber colour enriched with brown highlights. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of hazelnut, figs and honey, interwoven with hints of blood orange and subtle notes of cherry. On the palate, it is round and velvety, supported by a perfect balance between the sweetness of ripe fruit and freshness. The sip finishes with a long, spicy finish, ideal for pairing with mature cheeses, cinnamon desserts or dark chocolate.

Where it comes from

This Port originates from the renowned Douro region. The grapes are sourced from the historic vineyards of Quinta dos Malvedos and other estates located in the Vale do Rio Torto. After the vinification stage, Graham’s transfers the wine for maturation in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. In this controlled environment, the wine rests in oak barrels, slowly developing its characteristic oxidative style. The rigorous selection of the finest batches ensures a harmonious evolution capable of defining a mature and enveloping character.

How it is produced

The process begins with classic red vinification and a measured maceration on the skins. The fermentation of the must is then interrupted by the addition of grape spirit, an essential technique to preserve the natural sugars and give structure to the wine. This is followed by prolonged ageing in wood, where controlled exposure to oxygen shapes the aromatic profile. At the end of maturation, the final blend is created by combining the contents of different barrels to balance smoothness and flavour intensity. Finally, the wine continues its evolution in the bottle, achieving the perfect integration of all its elements.
