Graham’s Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port

Regular price £17.99

Graham’s LBV 2019 is a powerful, unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port from one of the Douro’s most prestigious producers. Aged 4–6 years in oak and bottled at ~20% ABV, it delivers deep blackberry and plum fruit, cocoa, spice and a velvety, rich finish.

Crafted by Graham’s - founded in 1820 and famed for plush, fruit-driven Ports—this is ready to enjoy today after a gentle decant, but will continue to develop beautifully in bottle. Perfect with cheese, chocolate or relaxed after-dinner sipping, it offers near–Vintage Port quality with added smoothness and approachability.

Overview & Distillery

Graham’s LBV 2019 is a rich, full-bodied and luxurious Late Bottled Vintage Port showing the intensity of fruit and polished structure that Graham’s is famous for. Made entirely from a single high-quality harvest and matured longer in oak than a classic Vintage Port, it offers immediate drinkability while retaining power, depth and ageing potential.

2019 was a strong vintage in the Douro, producing wines with concentrated dark fruit, excellent colour, refined tannins and refreshing natural acidity. Graham’s LBV 2019 delivers luscious blackberry, black cherry, plum, cocoa and spice with the signature Graham’s richness and velvety palate.

Unfiltered bottling means it can be enjoyed now or cellared for additional complexity.

Founded in 1820, Graham’s is one of the great names of Port, known for powerful, fruit-rich styles and some of the Douro Valley’s most celebrated vineyards, including Quinta dos Malvedos. Now under Symington Family Estates, Graham’s combines traditional foot-treading, careful oak ageing and modern precision to craft Ports with depth and refinement.

Graham’s LBVs are often considered among the most generous and collectible — offering near–Vintage Port quality with added smoothness from extended cask maturation.
