For many, Taylor’s is the archetypal Port house and its wines the quintessential Ports. Established over three centuries ago in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port Wine and in particular, to its finest styles.
Taylor’s Port was the first to produce a dry white aperitif port. Chip Dry White Port was first blended in 1934, since when it has acquired a devoted following throughout the world.
Recognised as the perfect Port to make the refreshing and elegant Port and Tonic cocktail, it is now available in an elegant and practical pre-mixed 250ml can, easy to carry, ready to be savoured anywhere, allowing new moments of consumption and reaching consumers looking for convenience.
The can is light, 100% recyclable, easy to carry and store.
Tasting notes: The finest ingredients, including a touch of lemon and mint were used to blend with Taylor’s Chip Dry and tonic, to guarantee a balanced and most refreshing drink. It is bursting with character, which will surprise and delight even people unfamiliar with this outstanding Port.
How to serve: Perfect for drinking at home, in a park or on the move. Serve over ice with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint, or simply chilled from the can!

Our final day brings us to Croft's Quinta da Roeda in Pinhao, the "diamond of the Douro". We discover how phylloxera almost turned it into a silk farm, taste Croft's Vintage Ports, hear the story of a river of Port, and finish with lunch by the river alongside Adrian Bridge.
Day 2 takes us from the city into the heart of the Douro. We taste Fladgate's still wines from across Portugal, see harvest in full swing at Taylor's Nogueira winery, and spend a rare night at Quinta de Vargellas, the family's Douro home, with dinner alongside head winemaker David Guimaraens.
Our three-day journey with The Fladgate Partnership and Mentzendorff begins in Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. From the story of how Portugal got its name to Adrian Bridge's World of Wine, a 13-wine tasting at Taylor's Lodge and a mystery Port over sushi, it was quite a first day.
