TAYLOR'S - Porto - Taylor's Select
The Taylor’s Porto House, iconic and historic, is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the south bank of the Douro River, opposite the magnificent city of Porto, in Portugal. Founded in 1692 by Job Bearsley, it is one of the oldest Porto houses and remains an essential reference for all lovers of exceptional Port. Today, the house is run by the renowned Yeatman family, who have been preserving the know-how and tradition for over two centuries. Taylor’s wines are made from carefully selected grapes mainly from the Douro Valley, a region globally recognized for the quality of its unique terroirs, combining an ideal climate and schist soils favorable to vine cultivation. In addition to its prestigious Port cuvées, Taylor’s also excels in the production of still wines from the Douro and owns vineyards in other major wine regions of Portugal, such as Alentejo.
Taylor’s Select is an exceptional cuvée, the result of a harmonious blend of young red wines from the finest terroirs of Baixo Corgo and Cima Corgo, located in the heart of the Upper Douro. This Port benefits from 2 years of aging in oak vats, which gives it both aromatic intensity and elegance. Taylor’s Select Reserve Port is ready to be enjoyed upon bottling and proves to be an ideal companion to enhance your platters of fruity cheeses, dried fruits, as well as all your desserts based on dark chocolate or black fruits.
