The Last Drop ‘Centenario’ Duo of Ports

The Last Drop Distillers has expanded its portfolio to include two aged tawny ports from the Douro Valley in Portugal.

Comprising 100 years of Port, these “Old Colheita” (single estate) 1870 and 1970 tawny ports were selected and blended for the Last Drop by Cristiano van Zeller, a wine-maker and descendant of the 18th century van Zeller family, among the oldest families in the port community.

For centuries, generations of family farmers in the Douro Valley have held onto selected casks of their best wines. van Zeller together with Ben Howkins, port authority and one the Last Drop’s directors and experts, unearthed The Last Drop “Centenario” Duo of Ports.
