Smith Woodhouse
This small Port house was founded in 1784 when Christopher Smith M.P. and Lord Mayor of London, founded a small company to ship Port from the Douro.
Some years later the Woodhouse brothers joined him. Since 1970 the Symington family has owned Smith Woodhouse. The vintage Port sources grapes from the Quinta do Vale Coelho and Quinta da Madalena, increasingly trodden by robotic ‘feet’. Smith Woodhouse is a powerful, aromatic Port that is worth seeking out.
