Each bottle in this collection tells a story, capturing a moment in history that Van Zellers & Co will never repeat.
The collection includes:
Crafted by Liberty
Celebrating the year Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United States in 1860
Crafted by Family
Marking the marriage of Cristiano’s great-great-grandparents in 1870
Crafted by Poetry
Commemorating the birth of the illustrious poet Fernando Pessoa in 1888
Through Liberty, we have chosen them.
Through Family, we have cared for them.
Through Poetry, we share them.
To enhance the 19th-century experience, we collaborated with Vista Alegre Atlantis, founded in 1824, renowned for superior quality crystal and porcelain. Their hand-blown decanter, designed exclusively for the Van Zellers & Co XIX The Rare Port Collection, complements the set beautifully.
Included in the collection are three silver necklaces from Leitão & Irmão, official jewelers to the Portuguese crown since the 19th century. These necklaces adorn the crystal decanter and distinguish each wine, holding the secret behind the story of each Very, Very Old Tawny Port.
