How one Port powerhouse is pushing beyond fortified

The Fladgate Partnership, which owns some of Port's most storied names like Taylor's and Fonseca, is making a significant move into still and sparkling wines from across Portugal. The company, which has been rebranding as Fladgate Family Wines since 2023, now holds wines from Bairrada, Vinho Verde and Dão alongside its famous Port portfolio. It's a strategic shift that shows how one of Portugal's most respected fortified wine houses is diversifying to showcase the breadth of Portuguese winemaking beyond Port.
