Quinta das Carvalhas Reserva Ruby Porto is a magnificent port wine born from one of the historic estates in the Douro region. Fresh, complex, and of limited production.
Quinta das Carvalhas, the most prized estate of Real Companhia Velha, an iconic Portuguese winemaking company, offers one of its most select wines in the Quinta das Carvalhas Reserva Ruby Porto.
Only the finest grapes from the traditional varieties touriga nacional, touriga franca, tinta roriz, and tinta carvalha were handpicked to craft Quinta das Carvalhas Reserva Ruby Porto. Its winemaking process included fermentation in stainless steel vats and an aging period of 4 years in oak barrels. All this results in the production of only 6,000 bottles per year of an exquisite port wine from the D.O.C. Douro, distinguished by its fruity character, smooth tannins, and pleasant persistence. Perfect for pairing with aged cheeses, dark chocolate, and cheesecake.

Tasting notes
Of a beautiful ruby color.
On the nose, it displays a great aromatic richness dominated by notes of well-ripened red fruit (berries, cherries) with vegetal hints.
Good structure on the palate, where its soft tannins and taste harmony stand out.
Founded in 1756 by a royal charter issued by José I of Portugal, Real Companhia Velha is the oldest winemaking company in the Portuguese territory and a true emblem in the Douro and Porto appellations.
The company boasts a heritage of 540 hectares of vineyards, distributed across some of the finest estates, mostly located on the left bank of the Douro River. Quinta das Carvalhas is the crown jewel. From this 600-hectare property, 120 of which are occupied by old vines, some up to 100 years old, come the most renowned wines of the brand, sold in over 45 countries, ranging from their Ruby Reserva to the vintages, including the more classic range of 10 and 20-year-old Ports or Tawny.
