2019 Grahams Late Bottled Vintage Port

94 Points Wine Enthusiast
In stock
A softly rich and yet classy LBV from Graham's. Here, wine from some of their finest fruit is aged in barrel a few more years than the vintage bottling, thus giving the LBV a succulent kind of depth and dimension. A little while gaining oxygen in oak also gives it a softer and more rounded flavour. Released earlier than the vintage because it is much more ready-to-drink, this LBV Port is full of pleasure and pedigree. Vintage wine for a very low price!
$62.99 in mixed 6+ or $69.99 per bottle

Grape

Usually Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca , Tempranillo (Tinta Roriz)

Its Origins

The story of two families across three centuries. For almost two hundred years W & J Graham’s has been an independent family business renowned for producing the finest Port wines. 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. Graham’s owns five mountainous vineyards, which are located in different parts of the best wine-growing areas of the Douro region. Each property has the maximum ‘A’ grade classification. Much of the original wild flora has been left deliberately undisturbed amongst the vines on these estates to preserve the indigenous biodiversity, which Graham’s believes contributes to making wines with a more unique and powerful expression of this terroir.

What The Critics Say

94/100 Wine Enthusiast, Roger Voss

"The wine is beautifully balanced, rich with blackcurrant and a hint of licorice delivered with poise. The eucalyptus and mint perfumed aroma is emblematic of this wine's character. This Port comes from the Symington family's eastern Cima Corgo terraced vineyards in the Douro. Drink now."
