What is the Blend Series?

Graham’s Blend Series represents a fresh and innovative take on port. Leading the way are Blend Nº5 White and Blend Nº12 Ruby Ports – the first wines we’ve blended specifically for mixing.

A contemporary feel and award-winning design from fashion illustrator Antonio Soares gives the Blend Series a striking and versatile presence on the cocktail scene and in the on-trade, while also standing out and offering something exciting in the off-trade.

The Blend Series marks a new chapter in the history of port. It helps fuel the invention and creativity of the consumer, uplifting any port moment regardless of the setting, season or occasion.
