Port or Porto is one of the most famous dessert wines that put Portugal on the global wine map. It is one of the oldest appellations in the world (1756) and owes its name not to the region where it is produced, but to the port from which it is traded.
The areas where the grapes entitled to the appellation Port or Porto are grown are inland, about 70 km from the port and towards the Spanish border. The entire cultivation area stretching above the river is terraced at equal levels.
As with all vins de liqueur, the addition of alcohol is a necessary step to stop alcoholic fermentation and preserve the unfermented sugars. In the case of Port, the alcohol added is the local spirit aguardiente. The sweet wine produced has an alcohol content that reaches 19%-20% vol, and its quality is determined by the correct timing of the spirit's addition.
Taylor’s Port Wine was founded in 1692 and is one of the oldest and most renowned in the production of port wines with large reserves of rare port wines. Today, the name Taylor's is a mark of quality and consistency.
