The Last Drop Centenario Very Old Colheita Tawny

Introducing The Last Drop Centenario Very Old Colheita Tawny, a remarkable discovery born from the centuries-old traditions of the Douro Valley in Portugal. For generations, families like the van Zellers have safeguarded their finest wines in ancient oak casks, treasuring aged Tawny Ports as prized heirlooms for special occasions.

Inspired by this legacy, The Last Drop partnered with Cristiano van Zeller to unveil something truly unique: The Last Drop “Centenario” duo of Tawny Ports. This 11th release comprises two exceptional Tawny Ports, one from 1870 and the other from 1970.

The older Tawny Port, crafted from grapes on pre-Phylloxera vines, offers a glimpse into the past, while the younger counterpart, sourced from vines grafted onto American rootstock post-Phylloxera, represents a new chapter in Port history. Together, these extraordinary bottles provide a rare opportunity to experience two distinct chapters in the rich tapestry of Port wine.

Indulge in the unparalleled richness and complexity of The Last Drop Centenario Very Old Colheita Tawny, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Douro Valley and the artistry of winemaking passed down through generations.
