Taylor's Vintage Port is a fine wine from the Douro Valley in Portugal. Founded in 1692 by Job Bearsley, Taylor's is one of the oldest Port houses. The company remains independent and focuses solely on the production of port wine. Taylor's owns some of the finest vineyards in the Douro Valley, including Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita, and Quinta do Junico, while also sourcing fruit from estates owned by its 22 partner grape growers. All the port wines are aged in the cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia. The Vintage port, Single Quinta de Vargellas, and Aged Tawnys are amongst the finest produced in the region. Taylor's Vintage Port is blended from the best fruit from the Taylor's estates Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita, and Quinta do Junco. Left to age for two years in oak vats, the fruit is then blended in the second spring. Traditionally Taylor's has only declared three Vintage years per decade. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
