General Information
Graham's 10 Years Old Tawny Port is born from selected grapes from the iconic Douro quintas: Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta das Lages, Quinta da Vila Velha, and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas. Hillside vineyards, schist soils, and a continental climate provide the grapes with concentration and complexity. Its coupage includes touriga nacional, touriga franca, tinta roriz, tinta barroca, tinta cão, and tinta amarela, cultivated with sustainable viticulture, resulting in a wine full of purity, honesty, and aromatic character.
After fermentation and fortification with wine spirit, the wines are aged in small oak barrels for an average of 10 years. Graham’s team masters the art of the blend, combining older wines (depth and nutty notes) with younger wines (fruit and liveliness), achieving perfect balance and a velvety texture.
Founded in 1820, the Graham’s Port winery belongs to Symington Family Estates and stands out for its mastery of blending, cooperage, and aging. With its own quintas in the Alto Douro and a legacy of winemaking precision, this 10 YO Tawny is a tribute to that philosophy: quality, tradition, and craftsmanship.
Graham's 10 Years Old Tawny is ideal for pairing with apple and cinnamon tarts, crème brûlée, dried fruit and nuts, blue cheeses, and a selection of aged cheeses. Also perfect on its own, as a dessert.
Creators' opinion
Graham’s 10 Year Old Tawny presents a deep amber color. On the nose, it reveals complex aromas of dried fruits, combined with delicate hints of honey and figs. On the palate, it offers intense flavors of ripe fruit, elegantly integrated with a silky texture and a long, harmonious finish.
The winery
Winery
Graham's Porto was founded in 1820 by the brothers William and John Graham in Oporto, Portugal. Originally focused on the textile trade, the winery was established when they accepted 27 barrels of Port wine as payment of a debt. This marked the beginning of one of the most prestigious Port wine houses.
In 1890 they acquired Quinta dos Malvedos, an emblematic estate in the Douro Valley, which became the heart of their Vintage wines. In 1970, the Symington family, with a long tradition in the wine world, acquired the winery, consolidating its legacy and commitment to excellence.
Graham's owns four estates in the Douro Valley: Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas. The vineyards are located on traditional dry stone terraces, with south-facing exposure and schist soils. Altitude ranges from 100 to 400 metres above sea level. The climate is Mediterranean with continental influence, ideal for grape ripening.
The main grape varieties grown and used by the winery are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão. These native varieties bring complexity, structure and ageing potential to Graham's Port wines.
Vinification takes place at Quinta dos Malvedos, where grapes are hand-selected, destemmed and fermented in stone lagares or stainless steel tanks. Fermentation is stopped by adding grape spirit to preserve natural sugars. The wines are aged in oak casks in the cellar of Vila Nova de Gaia, built in 1890, where the maritime climate favours slow and balanced ageing.
