Portugal’s premium Port producer The Fladgate Partnership will unveil a new range of still and sparkling wines as well as the Port & Chocolate pack at the TFWA World Exhibition from 29 September-3 October.
The expressions will be showcased at the Taylor’s Port stand (Green Village, J56) and Duty Free Global stand (Green Village, J35).
100% Alvarinho Graça da Pedra, Colinas Sparkling and Portuguese Red Principal of the Bairrada and the Bella range of wines from Dão will be among the additions highlighted.
The travel retail-exclusive Taylor’s Porto City Edition, some of its flagship Vintage and Tawny Ports, and Fonseca Bin27 will also be exhibited.
A Port & Chocolate pack comprising four Ports paired with four Vinte Vinte chocolate varieties (the brand’s Porto-produced chocolate brand) is set to launch in the channel.
The Fladgate Partnership, which exports the Taylor’s range to 105 countries, earlier this year joined forces with Duty Free Global to expand its GTR footprint.
The group plans to distribute Taylor’s and Fonseca to key airports and retailers. Its Port expansion in Portugal is another strategic goal as consumer engagement with the category grows and the country’s visitor numbers increase.
The company recently partnered with Lotte Duty Free in Singapore and South Korea. New listings have entered various regions across Europe and South America, including Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The Fladgate Partnership Chairman & CEO Adrian Bridge commented: “Fladgate has a permanent quest for second to none quality and innovation.
“With over 300 years of producing iconic Ports, we are thrilled to release a fantastic range of great-quality dry and sparkling wines from multiple regions in Portugal – a country that is growing in international recognition and desirability by global wine consumers.
“We will also continue the development of strong travel retail-exclusive releases for our Port brands, following the recent release of our Taylor’s Porto City Edition.” ✈️
