Taylor's 'Scion' 1855 Tawny Port

Scion is an incredibly rare cask aged port which dates back to 1855 and has been maturing for a phenomenal 155 years- back to a time before Phylloxera arrived in the Douro Valley and destroyed the majority of its vineyards. Two casks had been passed down through generations of a renowned Douro family who had stored it in a wine lodge within the village of Prezegueda in the Corgo Valley. In 2009 the remaining family descendant and last owner of the port passed and the decision was made to sell the casks to Taylor's in January 2010.

Taylor's have described Scion as \"one of the oldest and rarest aged tawny ports ever sold and one of very few pre-Phylloxera wines from any vineyard region to reach us in perfect condition.\"
