Grahams Six Grapes Reserve Ruby Port
Six Grapes is one of Graham’s original Port marques. It is a big-hearted wine, sourced from the same vineyards (essentially Quinta dos Malvedos and Quinta das Lages) that contribute to Graham’s famed Vintage Ports in ‘declared’ years. As such, it closely resembles Graham’s Vintage Port style: full-bodied, with rich opulent black fruit on the palate and fragrant brambly aromas. We think of it as the ‘everyday Port for the Vintage Port drinker.’ Six Grapes is bottled relatively young (between 3 and 4 years) in order to retain the freshness and vigour comparable to a young Vintage Port.
The distinctive depiction of grape bunches on the bottle is taken from the identification symbols long used in the Graham’s lodge to identify the wines destined to make up the Six Grapes blend.
Over the years, Six Grapes has won numerous gold medals at the International Wine Challenge.
Critic's Tasting Note:
"Supremely good reserve (ruby) Port; never the cheapest in the category but consistently out-performs. From grapes grown on Graham’s own estates and aged for two years in wood before being bottled. Deeply coloured, with opulent aromas. Full of flavour, combining ripe, up-front berry and plum fruit with purity and finesse. Just the right amount of tannic grip. Look out for special editions, including Vila Velha bottled as a tribute to James Symington."
