The estate
Founded in 1692, Taylor's remains one of the oldest and most prestigious Port houses, located in the Douro region of Portugal. This independent family estate is dedicated exclusively to the production of Port using traditional methods, employing terraced vineyards on the steep slopes of the Duriense. Owned by the family business Fladgate Partnership, Taylor's stands out for its historic Quintas (Vargellas, Terra Feita) and its oak barrel aging techniques. The house produces exceptional vintage cuvées and tawnies aged up to 50 years, embodying the excellence and authenticity of traditional Portuguese Port.
The vineyard
Graça da Pedra Alvarinho 2022 is a Vinho Verde wine made from grapes flourishing on pure granite soils in a gently sloping valley offering ideal sun exposure.
Winemaking and aging
After a lightly chilled pre-fermentation maceration, the grapes undergo gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Aged for 6 to 9 months before clarification, filtration and bottling.
Grape variety
This wine is made exclusively from Alvarinho, a noble grape variety of the region that expresses itself here in all its purity.
