1. Taylor's 20 Year Old Tawny Port
Through 20 years of aging, the port wine achieves a balance, finesse, and a special smoothness that shapes the sensory impression from the bouquet to the finish. The color is also influenced by this development: bright, amber tones with orange reflections. On the palate, it presents a refined structure with a round, well-integrated body. The classic Porto from the historic winery Taylor’s Port, whose roots date back to the late 17th century, impresses in the finish with its straightforwardness and clarity of expression.
2. Taylor's Port Tawny
The grapes for the 10-year-old Tawny are hand-picked, mostly destemmed, and then crushed in shallow steel containers. Instead of being trodden by foot as in the past, modern equipment is now used to regularly work the grape pomace, extracting maximum color, aroma, and flavor from the grapes and skins. This meticulous processing has allowed Taylor's to maintain and even enhance its quality standard compared to traditional methods. The word "Tawny" means "reddish-brown" and refers to the brick-red hue of this port wine, which it acquires through long aging in large oak barrels. The oxidative aging gives Tawny Ports a completely different character than the bottle-aged Ruby types. Tawny Ports are ready to drink and do not require additional aging. Once opened, they can last for several months; 30-year-old or older Ports can even be stored for several years after opening without a loss of quality.
