Collection: 2024 Port Releases

↓ Jump to the wines

The last generally declared Vintage Port was 2017. Before 2024, that made for the longest gap without a general declaration since 1945 — seven years in which individual declarations came and went, but nothing that brought the entire Douro together under one exceptional vintage. The 2024 changes that. This is also, by volume, the smallest and rarest declaration in the history of Taylor's, Fonseca and Croft.

A small harvest, below-average yields, and wines that David Guimaraens, The Fladgate Partnership's Head Winemaker, describes as showing "incredible freshness, complexity, and a wonderful sense of balance." Managing Director Adrian Bridge calls the keynotes of the vintage "purity and refinement... elegance and poise, a wonderful purity of fruit and tannins of great quality."

Vintage Port of this calibre becomes increasingly rare over time — and given the growing trend for enjoying Vintage Port young, stocks of the 2024s are likely to diminish faster than previous declarations. This is a wine worth buying on release.

Most of exciting of all, we have a highly limited number of large formats available if interested... no guarantees, these are genuinely rare and difficult to get hold of, but let us know and we will endeavour to secure some for you!
