Commemorative Quinta da Devesa Wines

The Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto (IVDP) handed over in the Apostolic Nunciature in Lisbon, a box with a special decanter and a bottle of Port Wine 20 Years to His Holinness, the Pope, after the election as Bishop of Rome and successor of Peter, on the 13th of March 2013.

The offer, a box with a decanter and a bottle of Port Wine 20 Years, was sent by the Embassy of the Holy Church to Rome.

The wine chosen to be inside the bottle was Quinta da Devesa 20 Years Old Tawny Port Wine.

Another great Quinta da Devesa wines showing was the Quinta da Devesa Port Tawny 10 Years Old, which was used in the Portuguese representation at the Venice Biennale 2013, in Joana Vasconcelos "Cacilheiro Trafaria Praia" (Ferry).

The 10 Years Old Tawny Port is a special edition of Port especially labeled for the Venice Biennale 2013, which opened May 31. A special label was designed by the artist to honor the Portuguese culture. The 10 Years "Joana Vasconcelos Trafaria Praia 10 Years Old Port" is one of the hallmarks of the commemorative wines.
