Graham 1997 Single Harvest Tawny Port: This wine represents the beginning of a journey, from apprentice to cellar master. It celebrates deep knowledge of the vineyard and the mastery of tasting, essential requirements for crafting the exceptional wood-aged Ports of Graham’s.

Vintage Port, Douro

"The 1997 is an elegant Port, though having some good depth. Its tannins were melted and some secondary flavours were already starting to show, the fruit was chaging from ripe plums to candied figs. It is reaching its 2nd plateau of maturity.
Passadouro is an early drinker but this 1997 is one of the good port wines they made in the 90's.

Vintage Port, Douro

Warre’s Vintage Port 1997 is a beautifully structured, classic wine from an excellent declared vintage. The 1997 Ports were initially somewhat overshadowed by the blockbuster 1994s, but over time, many—including Warre’s—have proven themselves to be elegant, long-lived, and deeply satisfying, especially for those who appreciate more refined, aromatic Ports.

True to Warre’s house style, the 1997 vintage leans into finesse over sheer power. In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color, with only slight signs of age around the rim.

Vintage Port

Quinta de La Rosa is a small estate in the heart of the Port wine-growing region in Alto Douro, near Pinhao, owned and operated by the Bergqvist family.

The Quinta and its vineyards were given to the Bergqvist family as a Christening present by the Feuerheerds, who established the property in 1906.

It remains one of the few Single Quinta where the vineyards start at the bank of the Douro and rise 450 meters to the towering top of the mountain. From the river's edge to the top, one passes through 11 different microclimates. This gives La Rosa great flexibility to add variety and complexity to its Ports. …

Vintage Port

This wine is a mysterious phenomenon, a magical wine produced in extremely limited quantities and only in a few years each decade. It is the expression of a terroir and confirms something that is for me a deeply held belief. The Nacional is great because of the grapes and where they come from, not because of anything particular that we do. It has a unique personality, an extraordinary intensity and, even after many years of ageing, retains an astonishing youthfulness.
