AboutGraham's
Graham’s began in Porto in 1820, after textile merchants William and John Graham accepted twenty-seven barrels of Port in payment of a debt and entered the wine trade. In 1890, the house bought Quinta dos Malvedos in the Douro and built its ageing lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia. The Symington family acquired Graham’s in 1970, following a connection with the house that began in 1882.
Malvedos is the principal estate among four Douro properties supplying the house. Grapes are sorted by hand and fermented in modern tanks designed to reproduce gentle foot treading; after fortification, the wines move to Gaia to age.
