In 1729, William Warre arrived in Portugal and became a partner in the business, which by this point was known as Clark, Thorton and Warre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the end of the 18th Century, Warre's was one of the largest port merchants, accounting for around 10 percent of total exports. It was also one of the first port houses to establish a lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia (on the left bank of the Douro river opposite the city of Porto) where a large portion of port producers now age the wines before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house stayed exclusively in the Warre family until 1905 when Andrew James Symington was admitted into the partnership of Warre and Co.
