Only decades of tasting and careful nurturing will allow a wine of this delicacy and quality to emerge. This fortification method is still followed here, when wines are exported to other countries like England from Oporto. The wine's contact with the wood of the cask works hand-in-hand with time to create one of life's greatest wines.

Graham's is one of the last Port companies with its own cooperage team, who care for each cask individually. Graham's was founded in 1820 and through the 19th century went from strength to strength, attaining an unparalleled standing as a producer of fine Vintage Ports.

It is essential to strike the correct balance between the delicacy and elegance which results from prolonged cask ageing while retaining the fruit quality which lends this old Tawny its structure and longevity. Particularly fine vintage ports can continue to gain complexity and drink wonderfully for decades after they were bottled, and therefore can be particularly sought after and expensive wines.
