In addition to this blog, there are several other Graham’s and Symington Family Estate sites that may interest you.
The Graham’s Port site includes histories of Graham’s and the Symington family, profiles of each of the five quintas which supply the grapes for our wines, and information about our viticulural and wine making techniques. The Wine pages include tasting notes and downloadable PDF technical reference sheets for all our wines including Graham’s Vintage ports back to 1955. There is an archive of news items about the firm and our wines, as well as tasting notes from major critics and wine publications and details of the many awards Graham’s has been honoured to receive over the years.
The Graham’s Port Lodge site has all the information you need to plan your visit to our magnificent lodge in Gaia, and a virtual tour for those who may not be able to visit in person. Tours include a tasting, and there are four different flights of wine to choose from.

Symington Family Estates is a leading producer of premium ports, madeiras and fine dry Douro DOC wines. The SFE site includes extensive historical information about the family’s involvement in the port trade, which can be traced back 14 generations, as well as a news archive and links to the websites for each of their wine brands.
The Vintage Port Site is an extraordinary online resource for Port lovers. The heart of the site is our unique Knowledge Base, which includes viticultural reports for every year since 1945, whether declared or not, and an entry for every Vintage Port produced by all the brands now owned and made by Symington Family Estates – both brand and quinta vintage ports. For each wine we try to provide a range of tasting notes over the life of the wine, to help you understand how Vintage Port develops as it ages.
Additional features include a series of articles on Port Basics, Miles Edlmann’s Introduction to Viticulture in the Douro, and Enjoying Port, as well as a full list of our distributors around the world, and a long list of website of interest to the Port lover, whether you are looking for more information or a place to buy our wines.
