Paying homage to three generations of Cellar Masters who shaped itsprolonged ageing, Graham's 1961 Single Harvest Tawny Port embodiesa legacy of timeless tradition and craftsmanship. Emerging in the dawnof the 1960s, an era marked by profound cultural shifts, this wine hasthrived for over six decades in the seasoned oak casks of the Graham's Lodge. Each Cellar Master has left an indelible mark on its character, imparting an extraordinary depth and balance. In this edition, Head Winemaker and Master Blender, Charles Symington, unveils the meticulously chosen cask for limited release under The Master label, an exquisite testament to the Cellar Master's Trilogy collection. This 1961 Single Harvest captures the essence of an iconic era and a lineage of craft that has withstood the test of time.
Deep orange-brown core with red-brown rim and beautiful gradations of pale amber and green along the surface edge of the wine. Extraordinary aromas of marzipan and demerara sugar are complemented by a touch of honey and traces of mint and eucalyptus. The incredible, multi-layered, creamy palate reveals finely textured flavours of soft caramel with a counterpoint of citrus and apricot preserves and finely polished tannins, which hint at tobacco and tea. Whilst sumptuously rich and concentrated, there is still quite remarkable freshness from subtle, almost imperceptible acidity that holds everything exquisitely in balance. A wine redolent of age, elegance, and refinement. Charles Symington.
Graham's Single Harvest Tawny 1961 is a special bottling from just three casks of the 1961 vintage, each cask yielding only 712 hand-numbered bottles.
