Cockburn's is located in the Douro region of Portugal and is the largest and most accomplished Port producer in the region. It is now part of the Symington Family Estates.

As the business grew, three more families joined Cockburn in the 19th century: “the Smithes”, “the Teages” and “the Cobbs”. These three families produced some excellent ports and ensured that Cockburn's reputation for excellence grew, and in 1962 the estate was sold to the Harvey's of Bristol, and 48 years later in 2010 it was owned by the Symington Family Estates. Forty-eight years later, in 2010, the winery was owned by Symington Family Estates.

The winery's 261 hectares of vineyards, “Quinta dos Canais”, are situated on steep south-facing valley terraces along the remote banks of the Upper Douro Valley, which have been awarded “A” grades by the Douro 'wine regulatory authority'. These terraced vineyards are all rated 'A' by the Douro wine regulatory authority. More than half are planted with the main Douro grape varieties: 26% Touriga Nacional and 33% Touriga Franca. Another 16% of the vineyards are planted with very old vines.

Nutty and caramelly, this is a great example of aged tawny. Roasted walnut aromas waft from the glass, followed by flavors reminiscent of maple syrup carried across the palate on creamy-soft waves of richness. — Joe Czerwinski
