WINE MAKING PROCESS
Graham's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2019 is produced using a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties. The grapes are fermented, and the wine is fortified with grape spirit. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an extended aging period of four to six years in oak vats. This process allows for maturation and development before the wine is bottled. The 2019 vintage conditions, including a late-season rain shower and favorable harvest weather, influenced the grape ripening and final wine profile.
