Graham’s 1997 Single Harvest Tawny Port

Detailed Description

A historical and impressive vintage tawny Port from Graham’s, this 1997 vintage was released under ‘The Apprentice’ label, with the year of its creation marking the start of head winemaker Charles Symington’s career! With a quarter of a century of ageing under its belt, it’s a truly decadent drop

Finish: Satisfyingly long aftertaste with a subtle combination of walnuts, tea and tobacco.

Distillery Information

Graham’s is a prominent Port house in the Douro Valley of northern Portugal. The company begun as a textile company in the early 1800s by brothers William and John Graham in Glasgow, who received a barrel of Port as payment for a debt. The business grew from there, and today, Graham’s is owned by the Symington family who own several other port houses, including Dow’s and Warre’s. The house makes a range of Port styles, including the classic tawny, ruby and white expressions, as well as many declared vintages and single-quinta bottlings.
