Vintners' Brunch

Taylor's Port

Taylor's Port House 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 at Oporto are the ancient lodges where Taylor's priceless ports slowly reach their glorious maturity.

Taylor's 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. But Taylor's is also an innovative house, pioneering the successful Late Bottled Vintage style which has been copied by almost every other shipper.

Tawny Ports are delicious, delicate old wines which benefit from being slightly chilled, especially in warm weather. Equally, they may be served after a meal, or even during it. Tawnies have the character to stand up to strong flavors, or such rich tastes as foie gras.

Taylor's Fine Tawny has full fruit and subtle nutty, oaky flavours. This blend of ports has an average of 3 or more years in oak. Distributed by Foster's New Zealand
