Portuguese wine is the result of traditions introduced to the region by ancient civilizations, such as the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, and mostly the Romans. Portugal started to export its wines to Rome during the Roman Empire. Modern exports developed with trade to England after the Methuen Treaty in 1703. From this commerce a wide variety of wines started to be grown in Portugal. And, in 1758, one of the first wine-producing regions of the world, the Região Demarcada do Douro was created under the orientation of Marquis of Pombal, in the Douro Valley. Portugal has two wine-producing regions protected by UNESCO as World Heritage: the Douro Valley Wine Region (Douro Vinhateiro) and Pico Island Wine Region (Ilha do Pico Vinhateira). Portugal has a big variety of local kinds, producing a very wide variety of different wines with distinctive personality.

A 30-year-old tawny port from Graham’s, matured in oak casks for a concentrated flavour with more restrained sweetness than in younger wines.
The 40-year-old tawny release from the famed port house of Graham’s – the oldest in their regular range. Well aged in oak and assembled by master blender Charles Symington from wines laid down by his father, uncles, grandfather and great-grandfather.
It is a young wine with a citrus-like hue and fruity bouquet, with a fine acidity and well balanced, lively and young in the mouth.

In the mouth, there is a fine balance between soft tannins and natural sweetness which combine harmoniously towards an elegant and fine finish.
A classic 10 year old Tawny port from top producers Taylor’s. This is a robust, delicious wine which pairs wonderfully with soft cheese or dishes made with almond or coffee.
This 1970 single harvest port is the seventh release in Taylor’s Very Old Single Harvest series, matured for five decades in seasoned oak casks. It offers notes of wood shavings, cigar leaf, balsam and citrus that develop into marzipan, walnut, rich coffee and dark fruits on the palate. Try pairing this port with crème brûlée or soft cheeses.
Another great, well-structured tawny port from Taylor’s. The extra ten years of aging from the standard 10 year old have produced a fine balanced port traditionally enjoyed as a dessert wine or at the end of the meal.
The house of Taylor Fladgate and Yeatman has produced another fine Tawny port here, with wonderful complexity gained from its 30 years in the wood.
