ROYAL OPORTO RUBY PORTO

In the heart of the Douro Valley, where history whispers through the terraced vineyards, a story of resilience and tradition began in 1756. Real Companhia Velha, Portugal's oldest wine company, rose from a time of crisis in the port wine trade, supported by a royal decree. With a mission to preserve quality and authenticity, they charted a new course for port wine—one that continues to captivate wine lovers more than 265 years later.

Among their treasures is the Royal Oporto Ruby Port, a wine that embodies youth and vibrancy. Its journey begins with a meticulous blend of port vintages, crafted from traditional Douro varieties. After being aged in oak vats for an average of two years, the wine emerges, glowing with a ruby brilliance and delicate violet hues—a testament to its freshness and vitality.

As you uncork a bottle, a bouquet of ripe red fruits greets you, reminiscent of sun-kissed orchards. On the palate, it reveals a silky smoothness, weaving harmony with every sip. This is a wine meant for indulgence, perfectly paired with the tangy richness of blue cheese or the decadent sweetness of chocolate and red berry desserts.

But to drink the Royal Oporto Ruby Port is not just to savor its flavors; it is to partake in a legacy. Born in a time when Portugal sought to reclaim its pride in the port trade, Real Companhia Velha became a pillar of the nation's economy and a symbol of enduring quality. Since 1960, the Silva Reis family has shepherded this heritage, marrying innovation with sustainability to ensure that the Douro Valley continues to thrive.

With every glass, you are not only enjoying a vibrant and youthful wine but also tasting a slice of history—an unbroken thread of passion and craftsmanship stretching back through the centuries.
