Founded on September 10, 1756, by Alvará Régio d'El Rei D. José I, the Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas do Alto Douro, also known as Real Companhia Velha or Royal Oporto Wine Company, is the oldest Portuguese company, with uninterrupted activity since then.
The Port Wine Cellars of this bicentennial Company are located in Gaia, on the left bank of the Douro River, opposite the city of Porto. A truly mythical place, marked by deep silence and constant darkness, full of noble wood casks, barrels, barrels, vats, where the wine rests and ages for years, decades and even centuries. The time required for each wine to reach its exact maturation point and required complexity.
It is in these Cellars that Real Companhia Velha stores a wide selection of Tawny Port Wines and also the private cellar of the Silva Reis family, owner of the company, with more than 16,000 bottles of rare Vintage Port Wines, in which the oldest date dates back to to 1765, thus maintaining prestige and tradition.
