Vintages stand out for their aristocratic style. These are wines of the highest quality, from a single harvest, produced in years of exceptional harvests and with highly selected grapes.
The Vintage Port of Real Companhia Velha is traditionally produced from the 3 Quintas of letter A of the Company: Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta dos Aciprestes and Quinta do Síbio.
The centenary Old Vineyards of Quinta das Carvalhas are the backbone of this great Port, where a plot with more than 30 autochthonous grape varieties - the ancestral style of planting in the Douro through the concept of blending as a way of dividing risk - confers a lot of complexity and originality . From Quinta do Síbio and Aciprestes, we look for the strong character of Tourigas Nacional and Franca.

VINIFICATION
Once harvested, the grapes are transported to the cellar in small boxes, starting the ancient process of treading on foot in the traditional granite presses, which, due to their shape, allow perfect contact between the must and the films, allowing greater traction. Fermentation is interrupted by adding brandy, followed by aging in oak vats for a period of 2 years.
TEST RESULTS

The wine demonstrates a magnificent bouquet of ripe fruit, floral nuances and cistus, while on the palate it is firm, mineral and with great definition. However, it is elegant and rich in smooth tannins, with a long and persistent finish.
