Description
What kind of wine it is
Graham’s Fine White Port is a sweet fortified wine with a pale golden colour. This Port is created from a blend of Códega do Larinho, Malvasia Fina, Rabigato, Viosinho and Gouveio grapes. On the nose, it weaves together elegant floral notes with hints of fresh grape, almond and citrus. On the palate, it is smooth and enveloping, with nuances of honey and fruit. The sweetness is well balanced by a pleasant acidity, ensuring harmony and a good potential for ageing.
Where it comes from
This Port originates in the Douro Valley, a renowned Portuguese region for outstanding viticulture. The wine is produced by Graham’s, a historic winery founded in 1820 and a benchmark for Portuguese winemaking. Maturation takes place in Vila Nova de Gaia, where the unique environmental conditions favour the proper ageing of the wine. The deep connection with its place of origin guarantees an authentic flavour profile, representing a true expression of the local wine culture.
How it is produced
Graham’s Fine White Port undergoes a white vinification process, strictly without skin contact, to preserve a clean and delicate aromatic character. Fermentation is stopped early to retain the natural sugars, defining the residual sweetness and the pronounced fortified structure. The balance between richness and freshness makes it excellent when served chilled, ideal as an aperitif or paired with mature cheeses, salmon and light desserts.
