Graham's Blend No5 White Port

Graham's has always been a pioneer. Graham's was one of the first Port companies to invest in its own vineyards in Portugal's Douro Valley in 1890 and is now at the cutting edge of innovation in winemaking techniques. Today, five Symington cousins share responsibility for every aspect of the company and personally make the Graham's wines. They too have been involved with Port and the Douro for many generations, with ancestry dating back to the mid-17th century.

William and John Graham founded their firm in Porto in northwest Portugal to trade in textiles. In 1820 they accepted twenty-seven barrels of Port as payment of a debt. The two brothers decided then to devote their energies to making the best Port wines from the Douro Valley: and so the Graham's Port house was born.

Graham's Port's head winemaker, Charles Symington, selected two premium Portuguese white grape varieties - the fresh Malvasia Fina and the aromatic Moscatel Gallego - to produce this new blend.

The grapes are hand-picked and cold fermented in small batches. Graham's Blend No.5 is bottled 3 months after the harvest to preserve maximum freshness and should be drunk young. The wine is medium dry, deliberately designed to mix well with tonic whilst also being an excellent standalone drink.

Tasting Notes

It is the first White Port specifically created to be mixed with other beverages. Lighter, more vibrant and fresher than any other White Port on the market. The grape varieties give the blend a fruity, mouth-to-mouth flavor profile with a perfect balance of dryness that blends exceptionally with tonic water. Fresh citrus tones with a touch of orange blossom.
