Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

A sip of Fladgate Tawny Porto 10 Year instantly wraps you in the warmth of toasted hazelnuts, dried figs, and caramelized orange peel, evoking the golden glow of a late afternoon in Porto. Crafted in Portugal and matured patiently in seasoned oak casks, this tawny port reveals layers of butterscotch and baking spice with every swirl. At 20.00% ABV, its silky texture and lingering finish make it an irresistible companion to pungent blue cheese or a slice of pecan tart, where its nutty sweetness finds perfect harmony with bold flavors.

Producer Information: Taylor Fladgate

Taylor Fladgate, established in 1692 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, stands as one of the oldest port houses with a continuous family tradition. Founded by Job Bearsley and later shaped by Joseph Taylor’s vision, the house is deeply rooted in the Douro Valley’s schistous terroir, where it sources grapes from its own quintas such as Vargellas and Terra Feita. Taylor Fladgate is distinguished for its unwavering focus on vintage ports and late bottled vintage (LBV) styles, employing time-honored foot treading methods in granite lagares to extract optimal color and tannin. Their philosophy centers on minimal intervention and long-term aging potential, resulting in wines that reflect both place and heritage. Beyond their iconic ports, Taylor Fladgate also produces dry white port and aged tawny expressions that highlight the diversity of Douro grape varieties like Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca.
