Graham’s Late Bottled Vintage Port 2018

Half Bottle (37.5cl) | 20% ABV | Douro, Portugal

Everyday Opulence in a Perfect Portion.

Experience the signature richness of Graham’s in a convenient half-bottle format. The 2018 Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) serves as a superb introduction to the Graham’s house style—concentrated, opulent, and wonderfully aromatic.1 Unlike classic Vintage Ports which require decades of patience, this LBV has been matured in seasoned oak casks for five years, meaning it is bottled at its peak and ready to enjoy the moment you pull the cork.

🍷 Tasting Notes

• The Nose: A signature Graham’s aromatic profile. Expect a burst of blackcurrant and blackberry, layered with cooling notes of dried mint, eucalyptus, and a touch of licorice. You may also detect the floral scent of “rock rose,” a wildflower native to the Douro vineyards.

• The Palate: Luscious and full-bodied. The wine delivers succulent black fruit flavours balanced by layers of dark cocoa, black plum, and a spicy hint of white pepper.

• The Finish: Bright acidity meets firm, structured tannins, leading to a long, velvety finish that is fresh yet satisfyingly rich.

🍽️ Serving & Food Pairing

This 37.5cl half-bottle is the ideal size for a post-dinner treat for two or a sophisticated addition to a picnic hamper.

• Perfect Pairings: A natural match for our Hartington cheese and dark chocolate desserts (like a flourless chocolate torte) or semi-cured cheeses such as Derby, Dovedale or our creamy Stilton.

• No Decanting Needed: Unlike traditional vintage ports, this wine is filtered and ready to drink immediately.

• Storage: Once opened, it retains its freshness for 4 to 6 weeks, allowing you to enjoy a glass at your own pace.
