Year Old Royal Oporto 2020

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, the historic and renowned region for Port wine production. Real Companhia Velha is one of the oldest Port wine houses, established in 1756.

This Port is typically a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, including but not limited to:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Tinta Barroca
• Tinto Cão

The Year Old Royal Oporto is produced using traditional Port wine methods:

• Grapes are hand-harvested from selected vineyards in the Douro Valley.
• Fermentation is interrupted by the addition of grape spirit (aguardente), preserving natural sweetness and fortifying the wine.
• The wine is aged in oak casks for a specified number of years, developing complexity and smoothness.
• Bottling is done carefully to maintain quality and character.

The Year Old Royal Oporto offers a rich and complex profile characterized by:

• Deep ruby color with garnet hues.
• Aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry, complemented by notes of dried fruits, nuts, and subtle spices.
• On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth, and well-balanced with a harmonious sweetness and a long, warming finish.

This Port wine pairs excellently with:

• Blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort
• Rich desserts like chocolate tarts, berry compotes, or crème brûlée
• Nuts and dried fruit platters
• After-dinner sipping as a digestif
