    Description of Porto LBV

    Estate

    Graham’s is an iconic Douro house renowned for its authentic expertise in producing high-quality Ports. Founded in the 19th century, it relies on a family tradition combining rigor and passion. The estate is famous for powerful, balanced wines rich in aromas.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Douro region of Portugal, the vineyard benefits from a unique terroir with schist soils and a Mediterranean continental climate. This area is well-known for producing high-quality grapes essential for Port production. Local viticulture favors environmentally respectful practices.

    Wine

    The Graham's 2017 Port is a deep, structured red wine, typical of the Vintage style, from an exceptional year. This Port features aromatic complexity, intense concentration, and a fresh acidity. It perfectly reflects the character of the 2017 Vintage in Douro.

    Vintage

    2017 is recognized as an exceptional vintage in the Douro region, characterized by warm, dry weather favoring optimal grape ripening. This vintage produced Ports with both power and elegance, offering strong aging potential. It is praised in various specialized journals for outstanding quality.

    Vinification & Aging

    Traditional vinification for Graham's 2017 involves a short fermentation with strict temperature control to preserve aromas. Aging then occurs in oak casks for about two years before bottling. This method ensures finesse, concentration, and balance in the wine.

    Grape Variety

    Although specific grape varieties are not detailed, Graham’s Vintage Ports are traditionally made mainly from native grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz.

    Serving
