Production Details Limited bottling produced exclusively for Graham’s Ambassadors; winemaker Charles Symington. The finished-wine information reports 3.70 °Baumé. The sheet’s contextual vineyard description says Graham’s Douro vines are largely on steep terraces, most vineyard work is performed by hand, and yields are low. Serve lightly chilled. Open-bottle guidance conflicts: the linked technical sheet says the wine remains fresh for up to 6 weeks, while the current product page says up to 8 weeks.
Tasting Notes Amber-copper colour; quince preserve, marmalade and subtle citrus; caramel, buttery toffee and salty ocean-spray freshness; ginger, cinnamon, honey and toffee on the palate; balanced youthful vitality and age-worthy complexity; long, nutty finish.
Food Pairing Almond tart or pecan pie; 70–80% dark chocolate and praline chocolates; crème brûlée; Stilton, Gorgonzola or Roquefort; Parmesan, Gouda or Gruyère; roasted duck with orange; venison with berry sauce; foie gras; smoke-cured meats.
