GRAHAMS VINTAGE PORT 2016

GRAHAMS VINTAGE PORT 2016GRAHAMS VINTAGE PORT 2016 VINTAGE OVERVIEW After a warm and wet winter that replenished much needed water reserves in the soil, the weather pattern then reversed, with an unusually cool and wet spring, which delayed flowering and led to some problematic damp conditions in the vineyard in May. Timely interventions, however, saw our crop come through unscathed. TASTING NOTES Classic expression of the Grahams style: concentrated and opulent with layers

• 30-50-year-old vines planted in granite soils• Maceration lasts 2 or 3 weeks• Fermentation takes place in cement tank• Wines are aged on average for 15 months in barrel• No new barrels - barrels are 1 or 2 years old• Grapes are not de-stemmed• A blend of top Crozes sites: lieu-dit Besset

There's a lovely harmony here struck between the deeply chalky soils

where it matured for 12 months

2023 was warmer and they didn't make Prado Enea or Torre Muga
