Graham's Crusted Port 2013 20%vol. 0,75 Liter

Grahams is known for making the best port wines and is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal (near Porto). Graham's was one of the first port companies that invested in his own vineyards in the Portuguese Douro Valley in 1890 and is today up to date with innovation in winemaking technology.

Port wine is still manufactured in this way by deliberately interrupting the fermentation of the grape most and adds a clear grape fire called Aguardente, which is commonly referred to as "brandy". This preserves a large amount of the natural sugar of the grapes, which gives port its characteristic sweetness and wealth.

The grapes from which port is made must be grown in the mountainous region of Upper Douro in North Portugal. This protected region is the only place in the world where authentic port can be made. This Graham's Crusted Port is a blend of young ports of different harvests. He matures in oak barrels and is bottled without refining or filtration. After bottling, the crusted port stores another three years in Vila Nova de Gaia.

In the nose he has a very intense aroma of ripe blackberries, plums, esteva and a touch of smoke. On the palate he is fruity with notes of fruits, dark chocolate and tannin.
