Grape(s): Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão
Grape info: Portugal's flagship red grape, Touriga Nacional produces deeply coloured, full-bodied wines with intense aromas of blackberries, violets and herbs. Renowned for its firm tannins and ageing potential, it is the backbone of many premium Ports and is increasingly used to craft powerful, elegant dry red wines.
Info: Founded in 1820 by brothers William and John Graham, Graham’s Port quickly became known as a producer of exceptional ports. Originating in the 19th century, Graham’s winemakers would mark each barrel of port using grape symbols to rate the wine from one to six. The symbol of six grapes denoted complexity, structure, and balance. Wines destined for Vintage Port. But not all of them.
By the early 1900’s, Graham’s started bottling wine selected from these barrels to produce a reserve port like no other: Six Grapes. Over a century later, the wine continues to be Graham’s signature reserve port
Tasting note: Aged for two years in seasoned vats before being bottled, a youthful, bright, and complex reserve port. Known for its finesse, it is full-bodied and marked by its fresh aromas of blackberry, liquorice and cassis. Generous black fruit flavours on the palate make it perfect for pairing with dark chocolate
Character: Blackberry, liquorice, dark chocolate.
