✨ 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
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.
