The Timeless Art of Taylor’s Aged Tawny Ports

As the Douro Valley grows quiet after harvest, another story unfolds in the cool, dim lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia. Here, Taylor’s Aged Tawny Ports rest in seasoned oak casks, evolving slowly under the watchful eye of time.

Unlike Vintage Port, which captures the character of a single year, an Aged Tawny reflects the beauty of decades. Each bottle is a blend of many vintages, matured in wood until colour, flavour and texture reach perfect harmony.

Taylor’s range - 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 Year Old Tawny Ports - offers a journey through time. The 10 Year Old shows freshness and spice; the 20 and 30 Year Old achieves balance and depth; the 40 and 50 Year Olds reveal extraordinary refinement and length. Behind each lies a craft honed over generations.

Once reserved for after-dinner moments, Aged Tawnies are now enjoyed more widely - slightly chilled as an aperitif, with cheese or desserts or as an elegant gift. Their rich amber hues and layered aromas of dried fruit, roasted nuts and caramel embody the warmth and generosity of the season.

In an age of immediacy, Taylor’s Aged Tawny Ports remind us that true excellence takes time - and that some pleasures are made to be savoured slowly.
