The VVOP is the latest in a series of limited releases of very fine and rare Ports drawn from Taylor Fladgate’s treasury of very very old cask-aged reserves.
Taylor Fladgate is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. The VVOP is a blend of some of the oldest wines Taylor has ever released. These are rare lots, some of which have been maturing for more than 80 years.
Precise, intricate, complex, and almost magically balanced and finessed.
This exquisite Tawny is presented in a bespoke decanter and an elegant wooden case.
Orders are first come, first served.

It takes a lot of effort and a lot of faith to start a winery. But it takes even more to change the world.
Beginning as humble growers of the Nebbiolo grape, the Gaja family would push the boundaries of northern Italian innovation by introducing cutting-edge ideas influenced by their neighbours in France that the region of Piedmont had never seen before.
Decades ago, the techniques of aggressive vine pruning, extensive ageing in new French oak barriques, and planting international grapes in Italian soil were nothing short of heresy. But to a radical thinker like Angelo Gaja, they were necessary for making wines of astonishing quality.
And the result? James Suckling claimed that “Gaja’s single-vineyard reds are some of the greatest wines produced in Italy.” (Wine Spectator)
The family have since expanded to incorporate vineyards in Tuscany’s iconic Bolgheri and Brunello regions to further develop their already legendary portfolio. Their Pieve Santa Restituta and Ca’ Marcanda labels have received universal acclaim from aficionados and critics alike.

Explore more than 80 wines from the 2021 vintage.
For collectors and neophytes alike, there’s no region so immediately recognizable and exciting as Bordeaux. The premium wines of Bordeaux are the global benchmark for excellence. This offer features wines from more than 65 member producers of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux.
“The 2021 Bordeaux have turned out to be such a surprise. Weather conditions were challenging, and yet the top properties turned out gorgeous, classically built wines that will absolutely thrill readers who appreciate freshness and energy.” (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com)
“… anyone who enjoys the great benchmark Bordeaux wines of the 1980s and 1990s should seriously reflect on what the 2021s may have to offer in 10 to 15 years’ time. It’s a style of wine that could come from nowhere else ... And if the 2021s’ balance is reminiscent of a vintage from yesteryear, the best wines benefit from all the precision of modern winemaking, displaying beautifully refined, polished tannins.” (William Kelley, robertparker.com)

“[Bordeaux’s 2020 vintage produced] … outstanding quality across all appellations from simple Bordeaux to Pomerol.” (James Suckling, May 27, 2021)
Bordeaux is perhaps the beating heart of the wine world. Even for those for whom wine is little more than a curiosity, the name impresses not only a sense of quality and legacy but also an awareness of the significance of vintage.
This offer includes wines from across this iconic region, highlighting the finest attributes of the nuanced, dynamic, impressive 2020 vintage, crafted by members of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux.
“… the 2020s impress for a combination of energy and vibrancy that is hugely appealing …” (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, June 1, 2021)
“… [2020 is not just] a Right Bank or Merlot vintage – 2020 is far more nuanced and complicated than that ... I concur with some winemakers who hailed their Cabernet fruit as some of the best they had ever seen.” (Neal Martin, vinous.com, May 27, 2021)
“There is talk that this is a ‘Merlot vintage,’ which greatly oversimplifies the situation … [much of] the Cabernet Franc grown in Saint-Émilion is astonishingly gorgeous this year – shining like beacons in the blends … And there are Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated sites/wines … that managed to produce wines of jaw-dropping greatness this year.” (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, robertparker.com, May 20, 2021)
