Founded in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest port houses in the Douro Valley. An independent family business, it focuses exclusively on the production
of port and is considered the global benchmark for vintage ports.
Originating from the steeply-sloped Quintas Vargellas, Terra Feita, Junco, Casa Nova, and Eira
Velha, these vintage ports are distinguished by their elegance and balance
as well as their power and longevity. Taylor’s also boasts large
reserves of oak-aged port, from which beautiful old tawnies are created,
including the legendary Single Vintage Tawny from 1863. Last but not least,
Taylor’s was the creator of the ever-successful Late Bottled Vintage and remains
the leading producer of that port style to this day.
CLIMATE & TERROIR: A climate with warm summers and cold
winters. The terroir primarily features elements of weathered
granite and slate. VINIFICATION: After the intensive maceration period, fermentation begins
and the alcohol content can increase. When approximately 8% is reached,
the process is stopped by adding wine alcohol, and
the wine ages for 10 years in 630-liter oak barrels.
GRAPES: Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional
ALCOHOL: 20.00%
NOTE & TASTE: Rich and elegant aroma of ripe berry fruit
combined with delicate notes of nuts, chocolate, butterscotch
and oak.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Served slightly chilled, it pairs wonderfully
with desserts featuring red fruit, chocolate, or
blue-veined cheeses
