Dalva or Presidential?

Post by DRT »

Here is confirmation of what some here may have already known but of which I was unconvinced:

Subject: Dalva and Presedential Vintage Port

I am compiling a database containing a list of all vintage port declarations from each port shipper. I am aware that C. da Silva produce vintage port under two brand names: Dalva and Presidential. Can you please tell me whether or not these are in fact the same wine sold as two different brands or are they two completely different wines?

Best Regards
