AN EXCLUSIVE VERTICAL EXPERIENCE FOR TWO WITH CRISTIANO VAN ZELLER

Three Centuries of Port – The Rare Port Collection Tasting at the Douro Valley at Van Zellers

This Rare Port Collection is a lifetime achievement. It is the unveiling of three Very Old Tawny Ports that have silently been ageing in old oak casks for over a century. These Very Old Tawny Ports are a tribute to Liberty, Family and Poetry. The first is a rare finding of an 1860 Very Old Tawny Port, the second, an exquisite 1870 Very Old Tawny Port and the third is an exceptional 1888 Very Old Tawny Port.

Adding to this we will include a 10 Years, a 30 Years and a 50 Years Old Port that are a blend of wines produced in the 20th and 21st century.
