1961 Graham's Colheita Single Harvest Tawny Port

Rare bottle of Graham's 1961 Single Harvest Tawny Port.

This is an exclusive release of Graham's 1961 Single Harvest Tawny (or Colheita), with only three casks, of 712 bottles each, going on the market. The port has been personally selected by award-winning Graham's winemaker Charles Symington himself out of 14 remaining casks. Each bottle has been hand numbered by the Bottling Manager, and is accompanied by its own certificate of ownership.

The 1961 Colheita shows a vivid, rich amber colour, with a suggestion of a green tinge on the rim. On the nose an explosion of multiple aromas, a combination of caramel, nuts, hints of vanilla and cigar box. Massively concentrated in the mouth, these wines have a complex palate revealing honeycomb, exotic spices and crystallised orange peel flavours. The richness is balanced by a firm and refreshing acidity which gives the wine a perfect balance and structure, leading to an endless finish.

The launch of the 1961 port pays tribute to Graham's experience as a producer of fine old tawnies, building on an outstanding reputation that Graham's has earned on its vintage ports over the last 2 centuries and especially during the last 50 years.
