The Graham's 1997 Apprentice is the perfect choice for enthusiasts who enjoy an exclusive red colheita port. This port comes from Portugal and was bottled at 20%. The price of this red colheita port is somewhat higher, but the taste and quality more than make up for it.
Flavour notes
The aroma opens with marmalade, traces of vanilla, soft caramel, honey and raisins. Time in cask has rounded the wine, yet it keeps a fresh and lively feel.On the palate, fresh red fruit comes through, lifted by a citrus-like acidity that brings balance and poise. The finish is long, leaving impressions of walnuts, tea and tobacco.

Product info about Graham's 1997 Apprentice
Graham's 1997 Apprentice is a Single Harvest Tawny Port with a story that reaches beyond the vintage itself. It belongs to a trilogy celebrating the craft of the cellar master in Portuguese wine houses, alongside Artisan and Master. Apprentice represents the first stage of that journey: the young learner in the cellar, beginning the path towards mastery.The 1997 harvest makes this release especially meaningful. That same year, Charles Symington had just begun working as an apprentice to his father, Peter. The conditions were ideal and produced remarkable wines. Some were bottled as Vintage Port, while Peter Symington set aside a number of the finest lots for long maturation. Twenty-five years later, Charles selected the remaining casks for this very limited bottling.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this Graham's Apprentice stands out for anyone drawn to mature Colheita-style Port with a clear sense of origin and purpose. Serve it lightly chilled to bring out its freshness as well as its developed depth, and once opened it is best enjoyed within eight weeks.

About GRAHAM'S
Graham's Port is the absolute reference when it comes to quality port. It is a house with a long and fascinating history that has been committed to producing products of absolute top quality, in all price ranges, for more than 200 years.
The story starts in 1820, when brothers William and John Graham founded the house. Soon the Graham's name became synonymous with quality, leading to the construction of the Graham's Lodge in Gaia and the acquisition of the Quinta Dos Malvedos in 1890. That was one of the first times a porto house invested in land in the upper Douro Valley. Eight years earlier, in 1882, one Andrew James Symington had moved from Scotland to Porto to work for the Graham family. There lies the seed of the link between the two families. In 1970, Andrew's grandsons would take over the business from the Grahams and build it into what it has become today.
Graham's wines are still produced and blended using traditional methods. It is master blender Charles Symington himself who tastes all the maturing wines and decides which barrels can be bottled or blended when. There is no scientific analysis involved, it is based entirely on the combined skill and experience of the experienced winemakers in Charles Symington's team.
Graham's has several vineyards, of which Quinta Dos Malvedos is the most important and prestigious - the vines in this Quinta enjoy the best the Douro Valley has to offer: abundant sunshine and reasonable rainfall. Other Graham's vineyards include Quinta do Tua, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas.
