Founded in 1784 by London's Lord Mayor Christopher Smith (assumedly joined soon thereafter by the Woodhouse bros.), this venerable house has been in the hands of the Port giant Symington family (Dow's, Warre's, Cockburn, etc.) since 1970. Sourced mostly from their Madalena vineyard, aged 4 years in barrel and another 4 in bottle before release. Unfined, unfiltered.
