Taylor’s is now over 300 years old. It remains a family firm, completely independent, owned still by relations of the original partners.
On the Atlantic coast in Oporto are the ancient lodges where Taylor’s priceless ports slowly reach their glorious maturity.
In the Upper Douro Taylor’s owns three famous properties - Vargellas, Terra Feita and Junco - responsible for the distinct character of Taylor’s wines.
Taylor is accepted by most wine authorities to be the greatest of all port shippers, famous especially for its sublime and long-lived Vintage ports, which consistently fetch the highest prices at auction, and for old, distinguished Tawny ports.
