GRAHAMS 40 Year Old Tawny Port 75cl Bottle

Product Information

Port"" wines produced outside of Portugal may be labelled with a vintage date, but rarely possess the quality and proven age-ability of true vintage port.

Aged for an average of 40 years in seasoned oak casks, our 40 Year Old Tawny is a testament to time and patience. The General Wine Company sources wines from all over the world, but with a particular focus on small, independent producers. O. Tawny Port is the perfect choice for any special occasion, or just as a luxurious indulgence at the end of the day.Vintage ports are aged in barrels for a maximum of 2 years before bottling, and often require another 5 to 15 years of aging in the bottle before reaching what is considered proper drinking age.

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.Boasting a palette of gamut flavours, ranging from delicious mature honeyed fruit to burnt toffee and chocolate, this Grahams 40yr Tawny Port has been exquisitely mellowed by ageing in seasoned oak casks to bring its unique taste. One of our responsibilities is to ensure we do not sell age-restricted products online to people who are under the minimum legal age. 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.
