Graham’s has unveiled its new First Flight 2015 Single Harvest Tawny Port, a Global Travel Retail exclusive.

Graham’s Port has unveiled a new ‘First Flight’ 2015 Single Harvest Tawny Port, the second Global Travel Retail exclusive in the series.

Its release commemorates Graham’s Anglo-Portuguese heritage and 75 years since the first commercial flights connected London and Lisbon.

The Anglo-Portuguese relationship holds particular significance for the Symington family and its longstanding ties to both countries.

Following the original 2003 release, the new ‘First Flight’ also draws on the 2015 harvest, which proved well-suited to producing Aged Tawny Ports.

Gonçalo Brito, Global Travel Retail Manager at Symington Family Estates, commented: “The 2015 ‘First Flight’ Single Harvest Tawny Port offers travellers a distinctive expression of Graham’s, shaped by heritage, craftsmanship and provenance. Global Travel Retail gives us a unique opportunity to share that story with consumers from around the world, while continuing to build Graham’s presence in this important channel.”

This Single Harvest Tawny from the 2015 vintage was aged in oak at Graham’s historic 1890 Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia. It’s described as a “fresh yet rich and complex expression” of a single year in the Douro Valley.

Graham’s noted that the launch comes amid growing demand for premium Tawny Port. Worldwide, the Aged Tawny category grew 23.8% in value between 2016 and 2025, while Symington Family Estates outperformed the market with 29.8% growth, according to the company.
