Composition

Composition unknown — our sources do not have it.

The wines used to blend Taylor's LBV were drawn from a reserve of some of the best full bodied red ports, produced at the harvest, from grapes grown on Taylor's own vineyards and on other top properties in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior areas. Once they are picked, the grapes are taken to the winery. On the Taylor estates they are carried in small trays to ensure that they are kept in perfect condition. On arrival in the winery they are evaluated by the wine maker and inspected on a sorting table before being de-stemmed. In the traditional process, still used to make the wines from Taylor's own estates, the grapes are then placed in wide, thigh-deep granite treading tanks known as lagares. Here they are trodden by foot. Probably the best known of all Port houses, the firm known today as Taylor's was founded by Job Bearsley who was a general trader. It was Job's son Peter who moved the company to Oporto in 1709 and they were the first English family to purchase property in the Douro in 1744. In 1816 Joseph Taylor joined the firm and it was soon trading under his name, 1836 saw the arrival of John Fladgate and Morgan Yeatman. Descendants of these three families have run the firm ever since, and it remains committed to staying independently owned.
