Taylor Fladgate 1961 Single Harvest Port

Taylor Fladgate has very substantial stocks of aging tawny Ports that were put down by previous generations and are ready to be offered. The latest of these gems is the Single Harvest 1961. The 1961 has been quietly ageing in the Taylor Fladgate cellars and is now ready for anyone looking to celebrate 1961.‘There are some people that may remember the Quinta de Vargellas 1961 Vintage Port which we launched in 1963. That has all now been consumed but the reserves that were put aside for aged tawny from 1961 can now be made available to Port lovers’. Adrian Bridge, Managing Director of Taylor Fladgate.“The lodge team have been carefully tending this stock to ensure that it remains a perfect example of a 1961 Port. The aging process has of course helped it to reach magical levels of complexity and elegance”. David Guimaraens, Taylor Fladgate Head Winemaker.These extraordinary wines age gently in the cool, damp and tranquil Taylor Fladgate cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia where the conditions are ideal for the wines to slowly develop the rich and complex aromas, characteristics of very old Port Wines.A very small quantity of this unparalleled Port is now launched as an exclusive Limited Edition. 2,900 bottles have been produced which will be available in specialist retailers from December.
