Founded in 1859, by António Alves Cálem, Porto Cálem was by this time dedicated only to wine
exports to Brazil in exchange of exotic woods and by means of its own fleet. In fact, those activities
are still remembered today through Porto Cálem brand logotype where a caravel stands for this proud
history.
Porto Cálem was kept in the family for four generations, always developing business around quality
Port wines, from which resulted high recognition all over the world. Porto Cálem product range has
granted along its history an outstanding number of prizes and awards, especially on the Premium
Vintages, Late Bottled Vintages and Aged Tawny. The first Vintage Port ever produced by Porto Cálem
was the Vintage Port 1870 and the initial awards include Medals from Bordeaux, Marseille and Brussels
1897 wine competitions.
Our feature wine is the Old Friends White Port because there are not many of this style available in
Australia and it is perfect for a wide range of cocktails and mixed drinks from aperitifs through to after
dinner drinks.
The Tawny port is aged in large oak casks to mature before bottling. The Ten Year Old Port results from
blending a selection of old and young ports blended to an average age of ten years.
