ABOUT THE VINEYARD
Warre’s started life as Burgoyne & Jackson in 1670, founded by William Burgoyne and John Jackson. These Englishmen were exporters of wine, fruit and olive oil. The business underwent a range of name changes as different partners came and went, including John Clark, Clark & Thornton and Messrs. Clark, Thornton & Warre. Toward the end of the 18th Century, the business was among the leading port producers in the Iberian peninsula. Today this remains the case, with the Warre family remaining on control and retaining traditional production techniques, including treading.
