GRAHAMS MALVEDOS 75CL 20%

The consistency of quality of the wines from the Malvedos vineyard is such that in Vintage declarations they form the principal component of Grahams classic Vintage Ports. In most intervening years, the wines from Malvedos merit bottling as standalone wines from a single vineyard: Grahams Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port. This wine is deep, dark red colour with just a hint of fading along the edge. It has gorgeous black cherry and plum aromas, with a wonderful fresh fruit fragrance and distinct notes of eucalyptus and hints of mint and liquorice. Its luscious and opulent flavours coat the palate with full, rich blackberry fruit, intense and compact.

Grape Varieties; Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela

What to eat with Grahams Malvedos Port? Blue Cheese: Classic pairings like our Stilton, Gorgonzola, or Roquefort cut through the rich, sweet dark fruit flavors. Our Devon Blue is another popular companion, as Devon Blue is celebrated for its dense, buttery, and slightly fudgy texture. As it matures, it develops a deep, rounded savouriness alongside its signature salty, mineral blue punch. The robust sweetness and intense dark fruit profile of Graham's Malvedos effortlessly cut through this dense, rich paste.

Dark Chocolate: Flourless chocolate cake, truffles, or chocolate mousse complement the concentrated blackberry, cassis, and cocoa notes.

Nuts and Dried Fruit: Toasted walnuts, pecans, and dried apricots or poached figs.
