Graham's Colheita 1940

Ports from 1940 are extremely rare. During the Second World War, Port’s principal markets all but disappeared. Many producers stopped trading altogether while others drastically reduced their winemaking. Although 1940 delivered a smaller crop than usual, it was a year of extremely high-quality grapes. This magnificent wine was bottled after maturing in seasoned oak casks for almost eighty years. The Graham’s 1940 is remarkably refined and balanced, a reflection not only of the quality of the original wine but also of the skill of successive generations of the Symington family winemakers, owners of Graham’s Port. Charles Symington, Graham’s Port’s master blender, has selected two of the few remaining casks of 1940 tawny port for this once in a lifetime release. Bottle number 198 from the cask number one. Bottled in 2019. | Country: Portugal | Region: Douro | Size: 750ml
