Graham’S Porto Tawny Single Harvest Limited Bottling 1974 750 ML

Introduction

Toffee, toasted sesame seed, salted caramel, green tea and hazelnut notes emerge slowly and steadily as this airs in the glass, backed by racy, embedded acidity through the lengthy finish. Shows some latent power too. Producer Information Tradition, experience and knowledge spanning two centuries have given Grahams the values that are at the heart of the companys philosophy. The Graham family motto Ne Oublie (forget not or never forget) perfectly encapsulates the companys commitment to the Douro Region, born of a deep respect for the past. Founded in 1820, Grahams produced some of the greatest Ports of the 20th century, amongst which the 1927, 1935, 1945, 1970 and 2000 Vintages. In 1970 the company changed ownership from the founding family to the Symingtons, who have themselves been Port producers since 1882, however through their Anglo-Portuguese great-grandmother, they can trace their Port heritage back to 1652. Grahams owns some of the finest vineyards in the Douro Valley, one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world and a Unesco World Heritage Site. The four properties are: Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas. Combined, these four mountain estates total 201 hectares of vineyards, located in different areas of the Upper Douro and the Douro Superior, each making distinctive wines that contribute to Grahams singular character and style.
