Findlater & Co launches Graham’s 50 Year Old Tawny Port in Ireland

Since being set aside for long-term ageing, these wines have lost more than 50% to evaporation, resulting in deep concentration
Graham’s Port has unveiled its 50 Year Old Tawny Port, a blend that is part of Graham’s Aged Tawny Collection.
Carefully watched over by two generations of Master Blenders, Peter Symington and his son Charles, these wines were among the very first produced by the Symington family after acquiring Graham’s in 1970.
Charles Symington, Graham’s head Winemaker and Master Blender, selected two main components for the 50 Year Old blend.
The first is a wine from 1969 known as ‘CAS Reserve’, which was originally set aside by Peter Symington to mark Charles’ birth, giving the wine his initials.
The second is comprised of wines from 1970 and 1973, which were blended in 1982.
Since being set aside for long-term ageing, these wines have lost more than 50% to evaporation, resulting in astonishing concentration.
The presentation of the Aged Tawny Collection is inspired by the age and scarcity of 50 Year Old Tawny Ports.
The illustrations, designed by Portuguese illustrator, Mariana Rodrigues, reflect some of the rarer flora and fauna found in the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.
Each wine’s wooden box, carefully lined with wallpaper and panelling on the back, helps to create a familiar sense of home and is reminiscent of British interior design dating back to the 16th century.
Very limited stock available in 75cl and 450cl from May 2024.
