Special Edition Dalva Vitor Matos: A Tribute to Excellence in Port Wine

A Premium Packaging Design by Omdesign

The packaging for this special edition, developed and produced by the esteemed Portuguese agency Omdesign, is truly exceptional. It exudes a sense of luxury and sophistication, with clean lines and premium materials. The design features details of a watercolor painting titled "Golden Landscapes," created by Chef Vitor Matos on the exact same day the Tawny Port was crafted.

Omdesign has meticulously crafted the packaging, utilizing silk-screen printing for the labels and a wooden bartop signed by Vitor Matos. The external part of the packaging is made from premium cardboard, adding to its overall elegance and exclusivity.

The dimensions of the packaging are as follows: Width 155 mm x Depth 307 mm x Height 79 mm, perfectly showcasing the bottle and accompanying elements.

Inside the packaging, you will find a bottle of exquisite Port wine, along with a wooden bartop and a small brochure containing a selection of recipes, all signed by the renowned Chef Vitor Matos. This interaction between the design and the consumer adds a personal touch and enhances the overall experience.

The project, which began in July 2014 in Porto, Portugal, was completed in early 2015. It is a testament to the partnership between Dalva and Chef Vitor Matos, bringing together the best of both worlds and strengthening the gastronomic links.

Chef Vitor Matos, who has worked in Portugal and Switzerland, managed the Largo do Paço restaurant in Amarante, where he earned and maintained his Michelin star. The collaboration between Dalva and Chef Vitor Matos is reflected in this premium packaging, with its simple and elegant lines. It is a true celebration of art and gastronomy, showcasing the finest qualities of both.

The design of the packaging presented a unique challenge. Chef Vitor Matos painted "Golden Landscapes" on the very day the Tawny Port was created, making it a fitting tribute to the wine and vineyard culture that produces this exceptional nectar.

This special blend, Dalva Vitor Matos, is a testament to the delicacy of C. da Silva wines and the genius of Chef Vitor Matos.
