Today, RCV owns some of the Douro’s finest quintas, located in the very best areas of the Region. 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 the premium ports. History has left Real Companhia Velha with a record of an incredible story and a glorious past. The company holds the desire to maintain the highest standard of quality in their wines and the confidence that their rigorous and visionary philosophy will continue well into the future.
