Craftsmanship
Graham’s Fine Ruby Port is produced from carefully selected grapes grown in the historic Douro Valley, one of the world’s oldest demarcated wine regions. Fermentation is halted early with the addition of grape spirit, preserving intense fruit character while fortifying the wine. This traditional approach captures the vibrant essence of the fruit and creates a fortified wine with depth and balance.
