“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.

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.” 

This unique blend is one of the oldest wines released to date. It is made from a selection of rare lots matured in wood in Taylor’s cellars, some of which have been quietly concentrating to a magical quintessence since before the Second World War.

Taylor’s Very Very Old Tawny is best served after a meal, slowly savoured as a dessert in its own right. However, given the wine’s incredible freshness, bright acidity and concentration it will also combine beautifully with the flavours of figs, almonds and caramel. A decadent crème brûlée or even some wild strawberries.

The Taylor’s VVOP will be presented in a bespoke decanter and an elegant luxury wooden case. Only 3,000 bottles have been produced.
