Chestnut brown with an ochre rim. Unctuously smooth, with well-developed notes of spice and dried fruit, and an almost endless finish.

Royal Oporto comes from the name by which Real Companhia Velha was known in England, the Royal Oporto Wine Company, and is the house’s main Port brand on international markets.
Food pairing
Delicious with chocolate, desserts, nuts and aged or blue cheese.
The producer
Real Companhia Velha is Portugal’s oldest wine company. On 10 September 1756 it was founded by royal charter of King José I as the Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas do Alto Douro, on the initiative of his prime minister, the Marquis of Pombal. The company played a key role in the demarcation of the Douro, one of the world’s first wine regions.
Since 1960 Real Companhia Velha has been run by the Silva Reis family. The company owns five quintas in the Douro, including Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta de Cidrô and Quinta dos Aciprestes, with 557 ha of vineyards in total.
