Description
Limited Edition 80th Anniversary D-Day Port
To commemorate the heroic achievements of the UK and indeed all Allied forces in June 1944 we have commissioned this Limited Edition Fonseca Special Reserve Port.
Only 80 will be produced and each bottle will be numbered. As you can imagine, people will always want a specific number, if we can accommodate that we will, but is by no means guaranteed. We have added a text box below for you to add your preferred number, please just list order of preference, ie 15, 63, 24 etc.
If these numbers have already been sold, you will receive the next available number, please appreciate that the obvious numbers will have gone really quickly 🙁
But alas, you will still have a limited bottle and one of the 80.
We will be donating bottle 01, 44 and 80 to charity events so that they can be auctioned off for charities
About This Limited Edition Anniversary D-Day Port
This exclusive Anniversary D-Day Port has been specially commissioned to mark the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord — the largest seaborne invasion in military history. On 6th June 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in a decisive moment that changed the course of World War II forever. This limited edition bottle captures the spirit of that extraordinary day and serves as a lasting tribute to the men and women who gave everything so that future generations could live in freedom. It is more than just a bottle of port — it is a piece of history.
About the Fonseca Special Reserve Port
The wine chosen for this commemorative release is the Fonseca Special Reserve Port — a rich, complex and deeply satisfying ruby port with aromas of ripe dark fruit, chocolate and a warming hint of spice on the finish. Fonseca has been crafting exceptional port wines from the Douro Valley in Portugal since 1822, making it a truly fitting choice for a release of this historical significance. Each bottle has been carefully selected to ensure that only the finest quality reaches our customers, and the presentation is every bit as impressive as the liquid inside.
The Story of D-Day
Operation Overlord began in the early hours of 6th June 1944, with over 156,000 Allied troops crossing the English Channel to land on five Normandy beaches codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. It was a triumph of extraordinary planning, immense bravery and terrible sacrifice. Thousands of lives were lost on those beaches, but their courage ultimately led to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation. As we mark 80 years since that pivotal day, this Anniversary D-Day Port stands as a symbol of remembrance and gratitude to the Greatest Generation.
Who Is This Port For?
This is the ideal gift for history enthusiasts, military veterans, collectors, or anyone who wants to honour the legacy of D-Day in a truly meaningful way. With only 80 numbered bottles available worldwide, demand is exceptional. Many buyers choose to display their bottle alongside the numbered certificate as a stunning conversation piece. Whether you are purchasing for yourself or as a gift, this limited edition port is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on anyone who understands the significance of what happened on those Normandy beaches in 1944.
Ordering Your Numbered Bottle
When placing your order for this Anniversary D-Day Port, please use the text box provided to list your preferred bottle numbers in order of preference. For example: 15, 63, 24. While we cannot guarantee your first choice, we will always do our very best to accommodate your request. Please note that bottles numbered 01, 44 and 80 have been reserved for charity auction events. The remaining 77 bottles are available to purchase right now — and given the strictly limited nature of this release, we strongly recommend ordering without delay.
Collector’s Certificate and Presentation
Each numbered bottle comes with a personalised collector’s certificate confirming your unique bottle number. This certificate makes the gift even more special and meaningful, providing an official record of your place among just 80 recipients worldwide. The certificate is printed on high quality paper and is suitable for framing alongside the bottle itself. Many customers find that displaying the certificate and the bottle together creates a truly striking tribute centrepiece in their home or office.
A Meaningful Gift with Purpose
Three of the 80 bottles — numbers 01, 44 and 80 — have been reserved specifically to be auctioned at charity events, with all proceeds going directly to veterans’ charities and military support organisations. This means that every purchase contributes, in a small way, to supporting the men and women who served our nation. If you are looking for a gift with real meaning — one that commemorates history, supports veterans, and delivers genuine quality — this is the perfect choice.
Serving Suggestions
This Fonseca Special Reserve is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled in a traditional tulip-shaped glass. Its rich, full-bodied character pairs beautifully with a cheese board, dark chocolate, or simply enjoyed after dinner as a thoughtful nightcap. Whether you choose to drink it as a toast to the fallen on the anniversary of the landings, or save it as a treasured collector’s item, this bottle will always carry with it a profound sense of history and respect.
