Graham's is a company that has been producing some of the finest port wines for over two centuries. In 1820 the two brothers, William and John Graham, started as textile merchants and later ventured into the wine industry.
Today, Graham's is one of the most respected port wine producers in the world, known for exceptional quality and unique taste. One of the key factors that sets W J Graham's apart from other port wine producers is its commitment to traditional methods of production.
The company uses traditional methods of foot treading grapes in stone lagares. This involves crushing the grapes by foot and extracting the juice. This is time-consuming and requires a significant amount of manual labour, ensuring the wine retains its unique flavours and aromas.
Another factor that sets W and J Graham's apart is its dedication to sustainability. The company has implemented sustainability initiatives to reduce its environmental impact. Including using solar power to generate electricity and recycling materials used in the winemaking process.
Graham's produces a wide range of port wines, including vintage port, tawny port, and late bottled vintage ports. Its vintage port is a flagship product and one of the finest port wines in the world. The wine is made from a blend of grapes from several different vineyards, and only the best grapes are selected for use in the wine.
