A crowd-pleaser from Port House Feuerheerd's, which has been a major player in the port industry for centuries. The history of this Port producer is intriguing and interesting, dating all the way back to the 13th century. The Van Zeller family owned several properties in the Flemish city of Mechelen and the Dutch city of Nijmegen. They were a prominent family in the Low Countries. This continued until the 17th century, when the religious wars began. They emigrated to the Iberian Peninsula. After many wanderings throughout the Iberian Peninsula, the family began producing port in the Douro region in 1815.
The old vineyards of Feuerheerd's
Feuerheerd's from Portugal is no ordinary port house. For 14 generations, they have amazed many. Their vineyards are located in the most beautiful and exclusive parts of the port region. This area is called the Douro Superior region. This means that these are the best vineyards for producing port. For this 20-year-old port, they use various grape varieties typical of port wines: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinta Cao. The process is complex. Fortunately, the Van Zeller family has the necessary experience, so you can be sure that Feuerheerd's 20-year-old Port Decanter is a success.
