Graham's House
THE STORY OF THE GRAHAM’S BROTHERS
The story of two brothers, who founded in 1820, the one that would become one of the best houses of port wine. William and John Graham bet and dedicated themselves to the production of Port wine, benefiting from its privileged trade relations with Scotland and India, to project the name Graham’s Port until our days.
The first contact with the Symington family came in 1882 when a Scotsman – Andrew James Symington – 19 years old, has traveled to Portugal to work with Graham. Some time later, he started on his own account in the Port wine trade.
In 1970 the Symington family acquired Graham’s brand and continued the legacy of the brand, as a producer of exceptional wines. The Graham’s Vintage, are famous for their elegance, particularly the years 1908, 1912, 1924, 1927 and especially 1948.
