✨ Technical Specifications
Quinta do Síbio is one of Real Companhia Velha's most historic estates, located in the celebrated Roncão valley of the Douro, a sub-region famous for its steep, hand-laid stone terraces and pure schist soils. While the estate has centuries of heritage rooted in classic Port production, it has also become a canvas for innovative, terroir-driven still wines. The Quinta do Síbio Rosé is crafted to capture a fresher, high-altitude expression of the Douro. By utilizing the noble Touriga Nacional grape grown on these sun-drenched slopes and employing gentle pressing with temperature-controlled fermentation, the winemakers preserve the grape's delicate floral aromas and bright red fruit notes, resulting in a sophisticated, gastronomic rosé with a distinct mineral backbone.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1756 by Royal Charter of King José I under the guidance of the Marquis of Pombal, Real Companhia Velha is the oldest and most historic wine enterprise in Portugal. With its storied maturation cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia and sprawling estate vineyards across the Douro Valley, the company was central to the creation of the world's first officially demarcated wine region. Managed for decades by the Silva Reis family, the producer balances centuries-old tradition with modern enology across acclaimed estates such as Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta de Cidrô, and Quinta dos Aciprestes. Real Companhia Velha is renowned globally for its distinguished portfolio of classic Port wines—including aged Tawnies, Colheitas, and Vintage Ports—as well as elegant, terroir-driven Douro DOC still wines.
