Description
Six Grapes is one of the iconic brands of the Port trade. In the early nineteenth century, the firm W and J Graham adopted a coding system to classify wines by their quality. Six Grapes, the highest classification, was reserved for wines that are candidates for bottling as Vintage Port.
Graham maintains this tradition. A handful of lots are selected to make up Graham's famous Vintage Port. The best of the remaining lots make up Six Grapes Port, which, by virtue of this rigorous selection process, is much more akin to a declassified Vintage Port than a typical reserve Port.
Known for its remarkable quality, finesse and elegance, Six Grapes is full-bodied, with rich black fruit on the palate, and fragrant blackberry aromas. Bottled young in order to retain its freshness and characteristic opulence, Six Grapes is typically aged for between one and two years in seasoned wooden casks.
Ready to drink without the need for further decanting, Graham's Six Grapes is perfect on its own or as an accompaniment to desserts, cheese, or a simple piece of dark chocolate. Six Grapes can be left open for several weeks and is best served slightly cool. (from the vintner)
