NV Graham's - Porto Six Grapes River Quintas Edition

A blend of five standout harvests captured in a standard 750ml format, Graham’s Six Grapes Vintage Character Porto delivers layered complexity without requiring years of cellar waiting. Produced from early-picked berries across Graham’s signature quintas—primarily Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, and Tinta Amarela—the wine balances traditional Douro structure with approachable drinkability. The nose reveals concentrated blackcurrant, ripe plum, and violet blossom alongside subtle traces of mocha and cracked black pepper. On the palate, residual sugar integrates smoothly with vibrant acidity, creating a plush midsection where roasted almonds, dark chocolate, and candied orange peel emerge before fading into a dry, spice-forward finish.

Serving & Pairing Guidance

• Serving Temperature: Store upright and bring to room temperature before pouring, then chill slightly to approximately 16°C (60°F) to sharpen aromatic definition and temper alcohol heat.
• Glassware:
Tulip-shaped spirits glass or medium-bowled Bordeaux bowl works best to concentrate volatiles and permit gentle swirling without excessive evaporation.
• Food Matches: Naturally complements aged blue cheeses like Stilton or Cabrales, bittersweet chocolate truffles, honey-glazed walnuts, or pan-seared duck breast.

Pour neat as a post-dinner digestif, serve over a large single ice cube, or split with a splash of soda water for a lighter afternoon pour. Once corked, keep the bottle refrigerated and consume within ten to fourteen days to preserve oxidative balance.
