Taylor’s has decided to make a limited release, each year, of a Single Harvest Port made 50 years previously.
Taylor's Single Harvest 1969 bottled in 2019 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.

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></p><p>Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine since 1692</p>
