Taylor’s is one of the oldest still active wine companies in the world. Since its foundation in 1692 the company has remained independent. Now well into its fourth century it has establishing itself as one of the world’s most respected historic wine houses. It was the first British company to buy a wine property in the Duoro Valley in Portugal in 1744. The property, at Lugar das Lages near the old town of Régua, is still owned by the company.
Taylor’s was the first company to produce a LBV type port. This happened as late as 1970 and the idea was to produce a Port wine of a single vintage that had been fined and filtered so it could be drunk by the glass, without decanting, as soon as it was bottled. This was achieved by allowing the wine to remain longer in the wood than a Vintage Port, in other words by ‘late bottled’.
