Taylor’s is widely recognised as the most important producer of Aged Tawnies and possesses one of the most extensive reserves of Port Wines aged in cask. On very rare occasions these wines have been released in extremely limited quantities.  

Very Very Old Port is a new category of Port that has been approved by the Port Wine Institute and has been created for very old blended Tawny Ports without a specific age denomination. The Taylor’s Very Very Old Tawny Port is a blend of wines, some of which are more than 90 years old, others over 80 years.  However, under IVDP regulations, we are not allowed to state its exact age.

Adrian Bridge, Managing Director of Taylor’s, states: “Experiencing the Taylor’s VVOP is a rare privilege. Drawn from Taylor’s treasury of very very old cask-aged reserves, this VVOP confirms Taylor’s place as a leader in the production of the finest cask aged Ports of great age.” and adds: “We are delighted to be able to share with port lovers world-wide this masterpiece of cask ageing.”

“The Taylor’s VVOP represents the legacy of ancestral knowledge passed down from one generation to the next; the skill of Taylor’s practised team of coopers, who crafted the casks and maintained them over the years; the expertise of the cellar masters, who cared for the wine during the decades in wood; and the art of the blenders, who have given the VVOP its exceptional balance and finesse,” explains David Guimaraens, Taylor’s Head winemaker.
