FROM THE WIRES...


Some bottles don’t need reinventing—they just need the right moment. Graham’s Six Grapes Reserve Port (SRP $29/750ml) is both timeless and entirely of-the-moment—a wine that moves effortlessly from heritage to after-hours indulgence.

 

For too long, Port has been confined to ceremony and the end of the meal. Today, a new generation of drinkers and bartenders are rediscovering how vibrant, versatile, and undeniably social this category can be. Six Grapes leads that revival.

 

Crafted from grapes sourced from the same vineyards as Graham’s acclaimed Vintage Ports, it delivers depth and structure with a bold, fruit-forward charm: ripe blackberry and plum layered with cocoa, dark cherry, and opulent spice. Sweet, but never simple. Rich, yet balanced.

 

And then there’s the mood. Six Grapes shows up for when the lights go low and the night stretches on—corner booths, candlelight, vinyl spinning at home. The bottle itself, sleek black glass with a flash of red foil, sets a cinematic tone before the cork is even pulled. In the glass, it’s a deep garnet, moving like silk. On the palate, it’s a slow dance—lush fruit and spice that linger long after the last sip.

 

Beyond its atmosphere, Six Grapes is remarkably practical behind the bar. It pours beautifully on its own, holds its character over ice, and adds intrigue to spirit-forward cocktails. Substitute it for sweet vermouth in a Manhattan for a darker, more decadent twist. Serve slightly chilled alongside dark chocolate or strong cheeses, or brighten it with a splash of soda for an easy spritz. As a fortified wine, it also offers exceptional value and longevity—an affordable luxury that extends well beyond a single sitting, put a cork in it and revisit another night.

 

Equally compelling is its provenance. Produced by Symington Family Estates, the first B Corp Certified winery in Portugal, Six Grapes reflects a deep commitment to quality, heritage, and responsible stewardship.

 

Iconic yet approachable, serious yet effortlessly social, Graham’s Six Grapes proves that Port doesn’t require ceremony—just the right setting.
