To mark the 130th anniversary of Gran Cruz, Omdesign, the creative agency responsible for this project, designed and produced a commemorative packaging – Heritage. It contains an old Port wine, which is a blend of 9 different Port wines from exceptional quality years, in a premium packaging with wood and carton. This special edition reflects all the essence of this century-old Port wine producer, as well as their values, culture and history, but mostly, their passion and expertise through these 130 years.

The Portuguese agency was responsible for design and materials chosen. The screen-printing bottle and the colour contrast, using the gold and the black to remind us the shawl of the woman in black, the iconic symbol of Gran Cruz, also reinforces the originality and elegance of this packaging.

When opening the package, we can find a brief description of the emblematic 9 years of these 9 wines that compose this blend, but also the reference of the 3 pillars of Heritage: the vineyard, the ageing and the art of blending.
