It is linked to Hutcheson & Co. which was founded in 1881 by two Englishmen, Thomas Page Hutcheson and Alexander Davidson Taylor (a scion of the Taylor family). Although a small company, the partners strove to produce excellent quality Ports and their efforts were rewarded early on with various international prizes. In 1925 the company was acquired by the Barros family after the retirement of Hutcheson and the death of his partner Taylor. More recently in 1996, another old company, Feuerheerd Bros. (est 1815) was merged with Hutcheson. The company continues today in the traditional old 'English Port House' style with which it was instilled over 100 years ago.
