Aeternus - A tribute

Aeternus pays tribute to an eternal work ethic, and to a man who loved the land, his family and his work - Américo Amorim. Aeternus is a rare wine, produced in a hot and dry year from the centenary vineyards of the schistose slopes of Quinta Nova. Its character shapes its musculature, softens its texture, linearises its progression without taking away its irreverence. Then comes the complexity of aromas and nuances, balsamic, cedar, blue fruit, spice, schist. It is intense the energy that unites the firm structure with the silky texture and the robust and three-dimensional body. Rarely is it possible to appreciate such perfect harmonies. It then ends very long, dense and with great precision. Its production was limited to around 3500 bottles. Available to order!

Taylor's Tawnies Port wines

Port Wine is one of the best known and appreciated fortified wine. It is obtained by adding brandy at a specific time, before finishing the fermentation. This means that the wine will retain the natural sweetness of the grape, becoming rich, round and soft in the mouth. Produced in one of the oldest demarcated regions, Port wine owes its unique and distinct characteristics to a unique association of climate, soil, grape variety and tradition. The grapes, grown on the steep and rocky slopes that border the Douro River and its tributaries, most well known, include Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Amarela and Tinto Cão, but in total there are around thirty varieties of Port grape. The different styles of Port essentially derive from the various ways in which it can be aged, in wooden casks or in the bottle. This condition, as far as the way it is aged is concerned, will give the wine certain characteristics. Taylor's is one of the oldest Port Wine houses, which since 1692 has been dedicated exclusively to its production, and is therefore also one of the most prestigious Port Wine houses. Besides its magnificent Vintage Ports also its dated Tawny wines deserve to be highlighted. These are rich and complex wines, which age for longer periods in oak casks. Ageing in casks translates into delicious aromas of walnut, spice and oak wood intensify the longer they are aged in wood. Taylor's has one of the largest reserves of Tawny Port aged in wood, matured in its cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, and offers the full range of ages. Available to order! The 40 years of ageing in wood have concentrated this wine almost to an essence, producing intense and complex nutty and spicy aromas and a dense and concentrated palate full of rich mellow flavour. Tasting Notes: A sublime Port of very great age which shows the old olive-gold hue of its many years in cask. Decades of evaporation have concentrated this extraordinary wine to an exceptional density, with a powerful nose of dried fruit, honey and a touch of spice. Impressions of nutmeg, roasted coffee and an intense nuttiness converge both in the bouquet and on the palate. The wine’s rich, intense, voluptuous, almost viscous texture culminate in a finish of incredible length. Tasting Notes: Deep, old gold colour with hints of dried fruit and honey offsetting the rich nutty aromas. Lush, silky richness with an elegant, slightly austere quality which is quite distinctive. Subtle dried fruit flavours underly, exotic layers of caramel and nuts culminating in an endless finish. In the 20 Year Old tawny, the fruit has mellowed further than in the 10 Year Old, and the spicy, nutty aromas of ageing are more powerful and intense. Tasting Notes: Intense amber tawny colour. Opulent and voluptuous nose of complex spicy, jammy and nutty aromas, hints of orange flower and a fine oakiness coming from the long period of aging in cask. The palate is full of very rich and concentrated flavour and has a long mellow finish. Taylor’s 10 Year Old Tawny is a superb example of the aged tawny style. Mellow and elegant, combining delicate wood notes with rich aromas of mature fruit, it is bottled for immediate drinking. Tasting Notes: Deep brick colour with amber rim. Rich and elegant nose combining aromas of ripe berry fruit with a delicate nuttiness and subtle mellow notes of chocolate, butterscotch and fine oak wood. Smooth and silky on the palate and full of ripe figgy, jammy flavours which persist on the long finish. Taylor’s Fine Tawny is drawn from wines selected for their smoothness and mellow character. These are aged for up to three years in oak casks in Taylor’s cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. The individual wines are then blended together a few months before bottling for balance and completeness.  Tasting Notes: Pale brick colour with broad amber rim. Mellow nose of succulent ripe berry fruit with aromas of butterscotch, figs and prunes interwoven with attractive nutty and spicy aromas. Smooth and round on the palate, full of rich strawberry jam flavours.
