For many, Taylor’s is synonymous to the “House of Port” – a model for Port Wine. Do you know names such as Vargellas, Terra Feita and Junco? These are three of the iconic plots that were the foundation of the company’s success and a source of the unique style of Taylor’s. The company enjoys its position in the limelight thanks to wines that ripened on wood, the largest stockpiles of luxurious and rare wines ripened in barrels – called Tawny. The company is also known for its introduction of the Late Bottled Vintage Port wine.
Already since its foundation in 1692, the company made a commitment to produce Port wine of the highest quality. Taylor Fladgate & Yeatman focuses exclusively on the production of Port wine and specializes in premium production. Unlike its competitors, it does not produce any other wine, instead focusing on the uniqueness of its products. This form of independence guarantees an invaluable inheritance of experience and skills transferred from generation to generation for over three hundred years. Another important factor is the family-style management of the company: emphasis is placed on personal relations, which form the foundation for a good wine trading company.
The offer includes vintage wines (Port wines ripening in a bottle) as well as wines which ripened in a barrel (LBV), tawny wines, single harvest wines, and also white wines such as Chip Dry and Fine White.
If you want to visit something unique, we recommend going to the Taylor’s cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia. It offers a luxurious peek into their wine cellars.
