Royal Oporto

Royal Oporto stands for classic port wine from the Douro Valley. The range comes from the house Real Companhia Velha, the oldest wine producer in Portugal. For more than two centuries, the estate has shaped the style of great port wines. We offer these wines as a carefully selected specialty for discerning connoisseurs.

Royal Oporto Origin Douro

Royal Oporto is produced in the Douro in the north of Portugal. The region is one of the oldest wine-growing areas in the world. Steep slopes and terraces define the landscape. Slate soils store heat and pass strength on to the vines. Hot summers and cool winters promote high aromatic intensity.

Royal Oporto Regional Characteristics

The vineyards lie in the best sites of the Douro. Old vines root deep in the slate. Low yields ensure concentrated grapes. Harvesting is selective according to ripeness and structure. These factors give Royal Oporto depth, richness, and balance.

Royal Oporto Grape Varieties

Royal Oporto is based on traditional Douro grapes. Tinta Roriz brings power and spice. Touriga Nacional provides structure and bouquet. Touriga Franca lends fruit and elegance. These varieties form the backbone of all the house’s port styles.
