ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The magic of Port lies in the details. In the richness of the blend of grapes, strictly native Portuguese, and in the aging that can, in some cases, extend for an extremely long period. After all, Port is a wine born to last and for which one should not be in a hurry. This Graham's The Tawny is truly a benchmark for its category. It comes from a blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca and other old local varieties blended in the vineyards surrounding the course of the Douro River. After vinification and fortification that brings it to about 20 degrees alcohol, it begins its maturation in oak barrels. It waits an average of seven to nine years before it is considered ready to be bottled. The Master Blender, Charles Symington, to emphasize even more aging and evolutionary aromas, also adds much older wines to the blend.
