Real Companhia Velha Royal Oporto Vintage 1997 | 750ml

Founded under the esteemed umbrella of Real Companhia Velha, Royal Oporto is a name that resonates profoundly within the realm of Port wine. With its rich history and unwavering commitment to quality, Royal Oporto exemplifies the true essence of Port, crafting expressions that are deeply rooted in tradition.

Royal Oporto presents an impressive array of Port styles, each with their unique tasting profiles. The Vintage Ports, famed for their robust structure and complex palate, offer a rich tapestry of fruit and spice notes. In contrast, the Tawny Ports, matured in oak, reveal a beautiful balance of dried fruit, nutty nuances, and caramel undertones.

The Quinta do Casal da Granja, owned by Royal Oporto, is a testament to the winery's commitment to quality. Situated on the upper reaches of the Douro Valley, this estate's exceptional terroir plays a vital role in shaping the unique character of Royal Oporto's Ports.

In line with traditional winemaking practices, Royal Oporto utilizes indigenous Douro grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz for their Ports. The winemaking process involves foot-treading in stone lagares and fortification with high-quality grape spirit to ensure the preservation of the wine's inherent sweetness.
