Real Companhia Velha was founded on the 10th of September 1756 by Royal Charter of King D. José I, under the auspices of his Prime Minister, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the Count of Oeiras and Marquis of Pombal and since then have been faithful to its old traditions by offering the finest Ports.
The Company owns some of the Douro’s finest Quintas, located in the very best areas of the Region.
White Ports originate from Quinta do Casal da Granja where the fresh climate is perfect for the production of white grapes. Red Ports are produced from parcels planted at Quinta das Carvalhas, Aciprestes and Síbio.
The Old Vines located at Quinta das Carvalhas are the origin of our Premium Ports such as Vintages and Colheitas.
