Official Winemaking

Graham's 40 Year Old Tawny Port is produced from carefully selected wines originating from the Douro Valley. After fermentation, the wines are fortified with grape spirit before being transferred to seasoned oak casks, where they mature for decades under the careful supervision of Graham's Master Blenders.

During prolonged cask ageing, gradual oxidation and evaporation concentrate the wine while developing the signature aromas, silky texture and remarkable complexity that define an exceptional aged Tawny Port.
