Taylor’s has decided to make a limited release, each year, of a Single Harvest Port made 50 years previously.
Taylor's Single Harvest 1968 bottled in 2018 is a superb Single Harvest Tawny which delivers all the intense, mellow aromas of long ageing in oak casks while maintaining an attractive harmony and balance.
Taylor’s holds one of the most extensive reserves of very old cask aged Port of any producer. They include a collection of rare Single Harvest Ports. These are Ports from a single year which age to full maturity in seasoned oak casks and display the year of harvest on the label.
<p></p><p><span>Single Harvest 1965 presents seductive tawny colour, fine complex nose and smooth silky palate. Taylor’s will make further releases of 50 year old Single Harvest Ports in the coming years.</span></p>

<p></p><p><span>In 2008 Taylor’s wine maker, David Guimaraens, became aware of the existence of a </span><span>very old and rare cask aged port</span><span>, dating from the period before Phylloxera arrived in the Douro Valley and destroyed most of its vineyards. The wine, over 150 years in age, belonged to a distinguished Douro family and was stored in a wine lodge in the village of Prezegueda in the Corgo Valley. A treasured heirloom, the wine had been passed down from one generation to the next and attempts to persuade the family to part with it had been unsuccessful</span></p>
<p>Crafted from fruit grown on Taylor’s historic estates in the Pinhão Valley, this Vintage stands out not only for its intensity but also for its refined balance and promising longevity. While it already offers great pleasure in its youth, it is built to evolve gracefully over decades — a true investment in style and taste. Make no mistake: the 2022 Taylor’s Vintage is one that deserves pride of place in any serious wine collection</p>
<p></p><p><span>The Taylor’s Single Harvest Port is presented in the classic frosted bottle associated with Taylor’s celebrated range of Aged Tawny Ports and will be presented in a high quality wooden box. Quantities are limited so requests for allocations should be made as soon as possible</span></p>
<p></p><p><span>Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest styles.</span></p>
