| Description
Ruby colour, packed with ripe red and black fruit aromas, on the palate luscious black cherry flavours, with excellent balance and an intense finish.
Graham’s Fine Ruby Port is full-bodied with youthful freshness and attractive luscious fruit. Very deep-coloured and intensely aromatic, this Port is bottled young so as to retain the assertiveness of the fruit, a recognisable Graham hallmark. Ruby is an everyday Port, suitable for enjoying anytime.
Graham’s Fine Ruby pairs wonderfully with cheese and rich chocolate desserts. It does not need to be decanted.
Graham’s wines come primarily from its own Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua and Quinta das Lages in the Rio Torto. Two others, privately owned by a member of the Symington family, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas, also supply Graham with finest quality grapes. All five Quintas are among the best in the upper Douro valley. Graham’s also buys grapes from selected farmers in the finest districts. Some of these farmers have been selling their grapes to Graham’s for generations.
Graham’s was founded in 1820 and now has accumulated unmatched experience as a producer of premium Ports. The company has been owned by just two families in its entire history; originally founded by the Graham’s, it was acquired by the Symington family in 1970. The Symingtons can trace their ancestors as Port producers back four generations to Andrew James Symington who came to Oporto in 1882, but back thirteen generations through their great grandmother, Beatrice Atkinson, to Walter Maynard who shipped 39 pipes of Port in 1652. A unique record in the history of Port.
Today six members of the Symington family work in the company, Peter, Paul, Johnny, Dominic, Rupert and Charles. The family personally manages all aspects of winemaking from the vineyard to the final bottling of the wine.
