Origin

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, by Real Companhia Velha, one of the oldest and most prestigious Port wine houses established in 1756.

Variety

The wine is a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties typically used in Port production, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão.

Production

The grapes are harvested from the Douro region and fermented with the addition of grape spirit to stop fermentation early, preserving natural sweetness and alcohol content. The wine is then aged in oak casks for an extended period to develop the characteristic tawny color and complex flavors.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep amber to tawny color with a clear, bright intensity.
  • Aroma: Rich aromas of dried fruits such as figs and raisins, complemented by notes of nuts, caramel, and subtle spices.
  • Palate: Smooth and well-balanced with flavors of toasted nuts, honey, and dried fruit, finishing with a pleasant sweetness and a long, warming aftertaste.

Food pairings

  • Perfect accompaniment to desserts featuring nuts, caramel, or dried fruits such as almond tart or fig cake.
  • Pairs well with blue cheeses and aged hard cheeses.
  • Enjoy as a digestif on its own or with a fine cigar.
