Taylor's is one of the first historic Port wine houses, having been established in 1692. A family company since its foundation, it has been dedicated exclusively to the production of high-quality Port wines, from the planting of the vine and harvesting the grapes for fermentation, ageing and bottling of the various styles of Port wine.

The family's commitment to the future of Port wine is also demonstrated in its determination to preserve and, where appropriate, improve the unique environmental, social and economic aspects of the Douro region through the promotion of sustainable viticulture.

Taylor’s is mainly recognised as a benchmark for Vintage Port, its classic Vintages attracting the highest scores and auction prices. Made only in the very finest years – known as ‘declared’ vintages – Vintage Ports are blended from the best produce of the firm’s own estates of Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita and more recently, Quinta do Junco.

The house was the creator of the modern LBV (Late Bottled Vintage), a style pioneered by Taylor’s in 1970 and it is the most sought-after brand of LBV. On the palate the rich and concentrated black fruit flavour is supported by firm but well integrated tannins. True to the Taylor’s style the wine shows great balance and finesse.

Taylor’s also pioneered the first Dry White Port with the launch of Chip Dry White Port, first blended in 1934. Chip Dry is produced using the traditional port wine vinification method, brandy being added to the must to halt fermentation and to preserve some of the grape’s natural sugar in the finished wine. In the case of Chip Dry, the brandy is added later, when much of the sugar has been converted into alcohol, producing a port of unusual dryness.

The House is also recognized as the most important producer of Aged Tawnies and has one of the most extensive reserves of cask aged Port wines.

In 2021, Taylor’s announced the launch of Taylor’s Chip Dry & Tonic, the first ready-to-drink white Port & tonic, in a can.
