NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Choosing which Port to have during the festive holiday season has just become much easier with the timely launch of a new web site from Taylor Fladgate Port (http://www.taylorfladgate.com), one of the oldest and most revered producers of premium Port.
The site features an extensive list of descriptions and tasting notes for 50 of the Taylor Fladgate Ports, advice on matching the best port with food, how, when and if to decant and which style of glass to use. The new website aims to be the point of reference for Port novices and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
In addition, the site features a searchable database of Taylor Fladgate in more than 6,500 shops worldwide and detailed information on Taylor Fladgate's history, vineyards and sustainable viticulture.
Nick Heath, Marketing Director at Taylor Fladgate said, "We've spent a lot of effort studying other wine sites, talking to customers and analyzing user behavior on our old website to produce a site which will appeal to everyone and anyone interested in Port. More importantly, it provides them with what they really want from a wine site - information."
The site, consisting of more than 150 pages, features links to other related pages, easing navigation and gently inviting the visitor further into the world of Port. Information on Taylor Fladgate's complete product range has been given the highest priority on the site, while a section explaining what Port is, how it is made and how to enjoy it will give those wishing to buy Port greater confidence when purchasing. On-going research and development in the Douro vineyards and up to date news from the quintas will appeal to the Port enthusiasts looking for greater affinity with the Taylor Fladgate brand. The site also contains videos that include the famous winemaker, David Guimaraens, explaining the nuances of mountain viticulture at Quinta de Terra Feita.
About Taylor Fladgate
Over the past century, Taylor Fladgate has earned a global reputation for producing wines of remarkable consistency and exceptional quality. In 1744, the family became the first Port shipper to purchase vineyards in the Douro Valley. Often described as the Rolls Royce of the Port industry, Taylor Fladgate maintains exacting standards through continuous investments in vineyards and by aging extensive tawny stocks. Its vintage Ports are still made by foot treading, the gentlest method of crushing the grapes. Today Taylor Fladgate is proud to be the only Port company that has remained 100% family run throughout its history. Taylor Fladgate is part of the Fladgate Partnership which also includes Fonseca and CROFT Port. The Fladgate Partnership is imported into the US by Kobrand Wine & Spirits. www.TaylorFladgate.com
