Taylor, Fladgate & Yeatman (often simply Taylor Fladgate) is one of the largest port wine houses.[1] Founded in 1692 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal by Job Bearsley, becoming Taylor, Fladgate & Yeatman when Joseph Taylor, John Alexander Fladgate and Morgan Yeatman formed a partnership in 1838, it is also one of the oldest.[2] The house owns the brands of Fonseca, Fonseca-Guimaraens, Taylor, Krohn and Croft.[3] The house ships almost all types of port including vintage, tawny, ruby, late-bottled vintage, and white. The house invented the style of late-bottled vintage port.[4] Taylor Fladgate's vintage ports are some of the most sought-after and expensive ports in the world.[5]
