ABOUT THIS WINE
Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port 2006 originates from the producer's principal estate, Quinta dos Malvedos, a vineyard recognized for its consistent high quality and a key component in Graham's classic Vintage Ports. The wine is made from traditional Douro grape varieties. Graham's, founded in 1820, is now owned by the Symington family, who uphold a tradition of winemaking rooted in experience and respect for the Douro region. The Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides the unique terroir for these robust grape varietals. The 2006 vintage was characterized by a hot growing season, leading to a harvest that began in September and produced a wine with a deep color and a powerful fruit profile.
