| Description: |

Quinta dos Malvedos is rated among the finest vineyard properties in the Alto Douro. It lies on the north bank of the River Douro and its south-facing vineyards and very consistent climate ensure that in nearly every year the property will produce wines of first-class quality. The whole vineyard has the highest 'A' classification awarded by the controlling authorities. In 'declared' Vintage years the wines of Malvedos form the fundamental part of the blend which makes up Graham's Vintage Ports. In many other years when there is not enough top quality wine for Graham's to declare a Vintage, the wine of Malvedos is nevertheless so fine that it is bottled on its own, unblended, when two years old and left to mature in bottle like other Vintage Ports. Unlike declared Vintages, Malvedos Vintage Port is normally only shipped when ready for drinking by which time it is usually at least ten years old, although it continues to improve for many years more. Graham's have been offering Malvedos Vintage Port since 1951 and recent years to have been singled out for bottling include 1987, 1988 and 1990. Malvedos Vintage Port throws a similarly heavy crust to Graham's Vintage Ports and careful decanting is therefore required prior to serving. As with a declared Vintage, careful decanting is essential prior to serving. (6 x 75 cl)

Dow's Crusted Port
Description: The wines used for Dow's Crusted Port come principally from the company's two prime vineyards, Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira. . Dow's Crusted is a blend of excellent young ports from two or three harvests, bottled without any fining or filtration. The Port was then aged in bottle in the Dow's cellars in Portugal for three years before being offered for sale. Crusted Port derives its name from the fact, that exactly like Vintage Port it will throw a 'crust' or natural deposit with bottle age. As with Vintage Port the wine should be stored lying down and will require decanting prior to serving.. This Crusted Port is a deep dark red colour, while on the nose concentrated and rich aromas of cherry fruit abound with hints of spices also evident. On the palate it is firm and with great depth, excellent grip and a long finish. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £179.88
