This wine offers seductive aromas of caramel, toffee, English fruitcake, quince marmalade and a subtle hint of maple syrup. The palate has a voluptuous, rounded texture, with notes of walnuts, nutmeg and cigar box along with white pepper and tea. The finish is long and luscious.
2011 was an outstanding year in the Douro, producing very fine ports as well as Douro DOC (dry) wines. Besides the exceptional lots chosen for bottling as Vintage Port, Charles Symington, our head winemaker, also selected some of the finest wines for long-term ageing in seasoned oak casks for future release as a Graham’s Single Harvest Tawny from this memorable year. He was able to draw on the superb parcels of wines made across Graham’s properties in the Douro Valley: Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas. The incredible breadth of choice from these Graham’s vineyards provides the winemaker with a broad scope for producing superb, long-lasting wines.
Established in 1820, W & J Graham is one of the most famous names in the Port trade and has long been synonymous with the greatest Vintage Ports. The Symington family acquired the company from the Graham family in 1970, so today Graham’s remains a wholly family-owned firm
