✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Quinta do Síbio, located in the high-altitude plateau of Alijó within the Douro Valley, serves as the cradle for Real Companhia Velha's pioneering efforts to rescue Portugal's forgotten grape varieties. This unique white wine is a monovarietal expression of Samarrinho, an ancient and nearly extinct indigenous grape that was saved from obscurity through years of dedicated viticultural research. Historically lost in field blends, Samarrinho is celebrated for its exceptional natural acidity and intense mineral character. Grown in the estate's transition soils of schist and clay, the grapes benefit from cool nights that preserve their aromatic integrity. The winemaking focuses on purity, utilizing temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to showcase the grape's distinctive profile of white orchard fruits, citrus peel, and wet stone, wrapped in a vibrant, textured palate.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Real Companhia Velha blev grundlagt i 1756 ved kongeligt dekret af kong José I under ledelse af Marquês de Pombal og er Portugals ældste og mest historiske vinhus. Med sine legendariske modningskældre i Vila Nova de Gaia og vidtstrakte vinmarker i Dourodalen spillede huset en afgørende rolle i etableringen af verdens første officielt afgrænsede vinregion. Vinhuset har i årtier været drevet af Silva Reis-familien, som forener århundreders traditioner med moderne ønologi på anerkendte vingårde som Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta de Cidrô og Quinta dos Aciprestes. Real Companhia Velha nyder international anerkendelse for sin fornemme portefølje af klassiske portvine – herunder vellagret Tawny, Colheita og Vintage Port – samt elegante, terroirdrevne bordvine under Douro DOC.
