Description
The 2013 Graham's Crusted Port Wine is a blend of carefully selected young ports from two or three vintage years, bottled without any fining or filtration in the year indicated on the label.
Once bottled, Graham’s Crusted is then cellared in the Graham’s Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia for at least a further three to four years before being released for sale. By the time the wine arrives on shelf it will have therefore aged in wood and in bottle for up to seven or eight years, during which time the Port develops bottle character and complexity, akin to Quinta Vintage Ports and declared Vintage Ports. As with the latter, Crusted Port is sealed with a driven cork and laid down horizontally giving it the potential to continue developing favourably for up to eight years or so after it is bottled. Because it is bottled unfiltered, it will throw a deposit or crust — hence the name. Given that the wines of which it is made up are from several harvests, only the bottling year is shown on the label.
TASTING NOTE
Invigorating aromas of fresh fruits of the forest mingle with fragrant eucalyptus notes. Great vitality on the palate unlocks sumptuous blackberry flavours with ripples of liquorice. Remarkable purity of fruit marries with fine, peppery tannins, which provide superb structure and balance.
STORAGE & SERVING
As the wine develops a deposit or ‘crust’, just like Vintage Port it needs decanting before serving. Crusted Port is a good match with chocolate desserts and a wide range of semi-cured and cured cheeses.
