Interested in Vintage Port? | Graham's Port

Just one year ago Symington Family Estates re-launched the completely renovated Vintage Port Site.  The response has been very strong:  clearly people are turning to the internet more and more for guidance on Port.  Searches on the site increased steadily over the course of the year and we had a distinct peak on 24 December, when everyone was wondering how to decant!  Visitors to the site have clearly enjoyed what the site has to offer and they have eagerly sought further advice through our Ask the Expert service.

February 2012 Douro Insider | Graham's Port

What actually happened in February is very easy to describe.  Why it occurred, and what the consequences will be, is very much more complicated.  So what did happen then? Basically, nothing.  There was no wind.  There were no clouds.  There was certainly no rain.  It warmed up nicely during the day under sapphire skies, but then it got very cold indeed at night.  Portugal, along with much of the rest of Europe, was held in the grip of a very stable cool spell for several weeks.  The lengthening days permitted quite warm maximum temperatures on occasions but the nights were bitter.

Finally some rain in the Douro to lift the spirits

After over two months without seeing rain, we had finally a week-end of rain in the Douro. It was not enough to offset the long period of drought we have been facing, but it is a nice beginning for what it can be the next weeks. As the saying puts it “April showers”, it is not yet to late for the vineyards and soil to rehydrate should we have a long period of rain in April.

Port einmal anders - Aperitif-Trends aus Portugal | STERN.DE

Düsseldorf (dpa/tmn) - Portwein hat das Zeug zum Lifestyle-Getränk. Denn es gibt nicht nur schwere, dunkle Sorten, die man nach dem Essen genießt, sondern auch leichten weißen und pinkfarbenen Portwein. Beide eignen sich als erfrischender Aperitif.

December 2011 Douro Insider | Graham's Port

The first two or three days of the month suggested that it was going to be basically cold, grey and wet, rather predictably.  But the rain immediately dried up and on balance December turned out just to be cold and grey.  The amount of greyness experienced depended entirely on one’s location, however, as the truth of the matter is that there were precious few clouds around in the Douro in December, but plenty of fog.  Low-lying towns and villages, especially those close to the river, spent much of the month barely seeing the sun, nestled as they were below a thick layer of fog.  Those living on the tops of the hills had beautiful blue skies every day, almost without exception, whilst those somewhere in between generally woke up in the middle of the fog but then saw it clear by mid-morning.

Water, where are you?

Those who have been visiting the south of Europe for the last weeks know what the title of this post means. The weather in the Douro valley, in Portugal, and also in many areas of the Mediterranean has been wonderful. Clear sky with sunshine from sunrise until sunset and warm temperatures during day time. If we wouldn’t live out of agriculture, more precisely vine growing, this would just be a perfect weather. But sunshine means no rain and vines need water for the new season which is about to start.

Fruchtiger Portwein: Niepoort Vintage Late Bottled Vintage 2007 | World's Luxury Guide

Aus Portugal stammt der Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage 2007 - ein edler Portwein, dessen fruchtigen Charakter mit der Zeit immer weiter zunimmt. Dieser Jahrgang zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er aus Weinbergen stammt, die nur einen geringen Ertrag produzieren, was den Tropfen zu etwas Exklusivem macht.

Exzellenter Jahrgang: Taylor's Vintage Port 2000

Handelt es sich beim Taylor's Vintage 2000 bereits um den besten Jahrgang des Portweins? Diese Frage ist angesichts der enormen Resonanz auf den edlen Tropfen durchaus angemessen. Fest steht jedoch, dass sich der Traditionshersteller einmal mehr selbst übertroffen hat.
