TAYLOR'S - Port - 1968 Single Harvest Port
The Maison de Porto Taylor’s is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the south bank of the Douro River, opposite the city of Porto, Portugal . It was founded by Job Bearsley in 1692 and is one of the oldest founding houses in Port. The company today is run by the Yeatman family , who have been involved in the business for over 200 years. The wines are produced from grapes mainly sourced from vineyards located in the Douro Valley, where the climate and soil are ideal for the production of Port wines. Taylor's is also involved in the production of still wines in the Douro region and also has vineyards in other wine regions of Portugal, including the Alentejo region.
Taylor's has one of the largest reserves of very old barrel-aged Ports. They include a collection of rare Single Harvest Ports. These are single-vintage Ports that reach full maturity in oak barrels and display the harvest year on the label.
