1896 - The Douro, bottled in an eternal memory
A wine that lives beyond time
The Taylor Fladgate 1896 Single Harvest Port is not a wine like others. It is a tangible piece of heritage from the 19th century, harvested in a world without electricity, airplanes or radio. All this time, this port rested in old oak barrels in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia until it was reverently bottled as part of Taylor's rarest Limited Editions.
