Taylor is probably the most famous port wine house of all, an icon whose legendary reputation is based on its extremely long-lasting vintage ports, which are close to perfection.
The company was founded in 1692, 80 years before the USA even existed, to put it in a historical context. As a port wine producer in the premium sector, the aim of Taylor's Port is to always be at the top of the individual categories in all price and style variants.
Particular importance is also attached to the Tawny Ports that have been stored in barrels for a long time, and here too the aim is to be the market leader in terms of quality. Some of these treasures are stored in barrels for several decades before they go on sale. Taylor is also the inventor of the Late bottled Vintage Ports, which can be described as a stylistic combination of vintage and tawny, with a tendency towards vintage. Here too, the house is one of the very first addresses in the port wine region.
Taylor owns three wineries in the Douro Valley, Vargellas, Terra Feita and Junco, which, with their different and high-class terroirs, offer many opportunities to create the perfect port wine. Taylor has remained a family business to this day. Given the importance of the house over the centuries, this is an astonishing factor.
Conclusion: one of the very best port wine houses in every category.
