To celebrate National Port Day this week, our Master of W**e, Jane Masters MW, recommends Taylor’s Fine White Port, sourced from the steep, high-altitude slopes of the Douro 🇵🇹
“National Port Day is the perfect excuse to revisit Taylor’s, a house whose commitment to environmental sustainability in the Douro is just as impressive as their w**es. Aged in oak vats for three years, this is a classic smooth, full-bodied white Port with exceptional purity.
Taylor’s has been exclusively making Port for well over three centuries. This w**e opens with rich aromas of mellow fruit, layered with subtle hints of honey and oak. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, carrying the honeyed flavours through to a long, smooth finish. Serve well-chilled on its own alongside roasted almonds or marinated olives, or mix with premium tonic over ice with a slice of orange and a sprig of mint.
Established in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest Port houses, remaining family-managed for over three centuries. Set against the dramatic slopes of the Douro Valley, the estate leads the region in ecological stewardship. They have earned both the prestigious BES Biodiversity Prize and the National Reference for Sustainability Certification for their pioneering work and as founders of the Porto Protocol, a global w**e community committed to tackling climate change, they continue to set a remarkably high standard for environmental responsibility.”
