Founded in 1692, Taylor's Port is one of the most established names in the Douro Valley, known for its focus on structured and long-lived Ports. The 10 Year Old Tawny is a carefully blended wine composed of selected lots aged in seasoned oak casks, crafted from traditional Douro grape varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. The house style emphasises precision and balance, with a clear distinction between youthful fruit and developed maturity.
Ageing in smaller oak vessels allows gradual oxidation, softening the wine and encouraging the development of more complex, evolved characteristics. The age statement reflects the average maturity of the blend, ensuring consistency across releases. Positioned within the premium category, this wine offers a refined and balanced expression of Tawny Port, sitting between fresher styles and more extensively aged examples, with an emphasis on elegance and integration.
