1863 - The year that time was fixed in a barrel
A pre-phylloxera port, bottled for eternity
There are wines, and there are moments in a bottle. The Taylor Fladgate 1863 Single Harvest Port is no ordinary port, but a living relic - a tangible reminder of a Douro region that was still untouched by the destructive phylloxera coating. Harvested in the year Lincoln repeated his Gettysburg Address and Verdi's “La Forza del Destino” premiered, this wine was lovingly preserved in old oak barrels until it was ready to amaze the world once again.

- Deep mahogany brown with a green sheen - like polished antiques
- A smell of old libraries, candied orange and cigar boxes
- A mouthfeel that seems endless - silk, smoke, spice and warmth
- An aftertaste that does not fade, but lingers like a memory

- Not meant to just drink - but to possess, honor, pass on
- Taylor Fladgate's oldest Single Harvest Port - an heirloom in glass form
