Grahams is the hardest port house to visit as it is up a steep hill with most of the others being on the riverside. I like Tawny port to have a bit of heat in it this is smooth and fruity but without the heat its just a little bit boring.Tawny Port This wood-matured tawny port, produced using Time-honoured craftsmanship and generations of experience, was mellowed in seasoned oak casks at our stone-walled lodge, built on the estuary of the Douro river in 1890. By using similar techniques to both sherry and madeira, the process of oxidative ageing and by exposing the wine to heat gives it the distinct nutty, caramel, toffee and dried fruit profile that tawny port is known for. It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Ocado Limited's prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. I feared the worst, but when I opened it the box (and the inner box), it was just the cardboard tube that was crushed at one end, as was the metal end of the tube making it impossible to use for the gift it was bought for. Of course, the wine itself is no longer transported down the Rio Douro in wooden rafts but there is still plenty of heritage and time honoured traditions of manufacturing this particular fortified wine which was devised by the British during the Napoleonic wars to ensure that the nobility still had wine on their table.

Its mountainous terrain and steep, winding valleys create a kaleidoscope of microclimates, each producing unique wines. Their involvement with port and the Douro stretches generations, with ancestry dating back to the mid-17th century. This pairs perfectly with creamy or fruity desserts that compliment, such as apple pie or almond cake.They too have been involved with Port and the Douro for many generations, with ancestry dating back to the mid-17th century. The driver will input your year of birth into their device and may then require an ID check to complete the age verification process. For example, they mention that it arrived well packaged, looks great in their presentation tubes, and is delivered excellently. Much lighter than Vintage Port, these wines are delicious when served slightly chilled and are sometimes drunk as an aperitif as well as after a meal. They own their own vineyards too, unlike some of the inferior brands, and I was really impressed with the set up there.

It is sometimes referred to as the Alto Douro (upper Douro), as it is located some distance upstream from Porto, sheltered by mountain ranges from coastal influence. Whether you’re a true connoisseur, a serious collector, a dedicated bon viveur or just starting out on your journey of wine appreciation, we can bring fine wines to your in-bond cellar and ready-to-drink delights to your door. Tawny ports are aged in barrels where they develop a golden colour and the associated nutty flavours. This is a beautifully deep, rich tawny style, with almond and hazelnut aromas combined with notes of honey and figs.This relates to the average number of years spent maturing in barrels before they are finally bottled. Pairs extremely well with nuts, dried fruits and fruitcake, as well as vanilla ice cream and crème brûlée.
