✨ Technical Specifications
Quinta do Sibio is one of the most historic and distinctive estates of the Douro, located in the steep Roncão valley. Known for its unique terroir where schist transitions to granite, and its high-altitude vineyards, the estate benefits from cool nights that preserve the natural acidity of the grapes. The Quinta do Sibio Field Blend Branco is a tribute to the ancient Douro tradition of co-planting and co-fermenting multiple indigenous white grape varieties. This field blend approach creates a harmonious, complex, and deeply terroir-driven white wine. Fermented and aged with minimal intervention to respect the purity of the fruit, it showcases a vibrant minerality, citrus notes, and a textured palate that reflects the rugged beauty of its mountainous origin.
🍾 About the Producer
Established on September 10, 1756, by Royal Charter of King D. José I under the auspices of the Marquis of Pombal, Real Companhia Velha stands as Portugal's oldest continuously operating wine company. Entrusted originally with demarcating and regulating the Douro Valley, the company was acquired by the Silva Reis family in 1960. Today, under President Pedro Silva Reis and celebrated head winemaker Jorge Moreira, Real Companhia Velha oversees more than 550 hectares across historic quintas such as Das Carvalhas, De Cidro, Dos Aciprestes, and Do Casal da Granja. While famous for benchmark Port, the house pioneered fine Douro still whites, capitalizing on high-elevation schist and granite plateaus with wide diurnal shifts. Estate whites—most prominently the Quinta de Cidro mono-varietals and field blends spanning Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Alvarinho, and Sémillon (Boal)—rely on precision viticulture and parcel-specific vinification. These wines demonstrate remarkable tension, vibrant natural acidity, and an authentic, mineral-driven reflection of the rugged Douro landscape.
