Established in 1670, Warre’s holds the distinction of being the first British Port company to be founded in Portugal, marking the beginning of what would become a deeply rooted Anglo-Portuguese wine tradition. The house was founded by two Englishmen, William Burgoyne and John Jackson, and it eventually came under the stewardship of William Warre, whose family had been involved in the Port trade for generations. Over the centuries, Warre’s has built a reputation for producing elegant and finely balanced Port wines, particularly noted for their vintage expressions and deep cellar-worthy character.
The estate's flagship vineyard, Quinta da Cavadinha, is renowned for its high-quality grapes, which contribute to the depth and structure of Warre’s vintage Ports. The company emphasizes traditional winemaking techniques, including foot treading in stone lagares, which many believe enhances the complexity and finesse of the final product. Sustainability also plays a role in Warre’s modern operations, with significant efforts directed toward preserving the unique terroir of the Douro and reducing environmental impact.
In the contemporary wine market, Warre’s continues to thrive as part of the Symington Family Estates, who have been involved in the Port trade for five generations, bringing both tradition and innovation to Warre’s operations. Their stewardship has allowed the brand to maintain its heritage while also adapting to the evolving tastes of global wine drinkers. Today, Warre’s is celebrated not only for its vintage Ports but also for its range of ruby, tawny, and LBV offerings, each expressing the house’s signature style of elegance, balance, and depth.
