Taylor’s Quinta de Vargellas 2019 Vintage Port Wine – Elegant, Crisp, and Aromatic
Experience the exceptional Taylor’s Quinta de Vargellas 2019 vintage port wine, crafted from carefully nurtured grapes grown in the renowned Douro Valley. This vintage is a true expression of elegance and finesse, thanks to a unique growing season marked by a slightly early budburst in March and balanced weather conditions throughout the summer.
The 2019 season featured cooler temperatures with timely rainfall, ensuring perfectly ripe grapes with high natural acidity and intense colour. Harvested between early and mid-September, these grapes produced a vintage port with vibrant notes of raspberry, cherry, and fresh grape, complemented by subtle hints of wild herbs, botanicals, and floral undertones.
On the palate, this premium Douro vintage port offers a compact, racy structure with refined, linear tannins and a lively acidity that accentuates the ‘singing’ fruit profile. The finish is long and seductive, highlighting the distinctive fruit quality that Taylor’s Quinta de Vargellas is famous for.
Perfect food pairings: Enjoy this vintage port alongside rich, blue-veined cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, walnuts, dried apricots, or figs. Alternatively, savour the complex and rich flavours solo in a generous glass with friends.
Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a refined and elegant vintage port from Portugal’s premier Douro Valley.
Discover Taylor’s Port, one of the oldest and most prestigious Port wine producers in Portugal
Crafting exceptional wines since 1692, based in the historic city of Oporto and still family-managed, Taylor’s is a benchmark in the world of fine Port, renowned for its vintage Port wines, Late Bottled Vintage (LBV), and wood-aged Tawny Ports.
Taylor’s Port is produced from grapes grown on three legendary estates in the Douro Valley: Quinta da Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita, and Quinta do Junco. These Grade A vineyards are known for their distinct terroirs, steep schist-rich hillsides, and centuries-old traditions. This unique environment contributes to the unmistakable Taylor’s house style, Ports that are structured, elegant, and long-lived.
At Taylor’s vineyards, sustainability is a core value. No herbicides are used, and natural vegetation is encouraged to support local biodiversity. New terraces are carefully designed to prevent topsoil erosion. Taylor’s commitment to the environment earned them the BES Biodiversity Prize, recognizing their leadership in sustainable Port wine production.
Taylor’s pioneered the Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port style and introduced Chip Dry White Port in 1934, now an iconic white Port worldwide. Their mastery extends to an unmatched collection of cask-aged Ports, offering rare and complex expressions for connoisseurs and collectors.
