Royal Oporto - Tradition and innovation in port wine production
The Royal Oporto Wine Companyis one of the most important port wine producers in Portugal's Douro Valley. With roots dating back to the 18th century, the company combines centuries-old traditions with state-of-the-art cellar technology.
The winery cultivates several premium vineyards along the Douro River, including the famous Quinta do Fojo, whose steep slate terraces offer ideal conditions for outstanding grape quality. Royal Oporto produces the entire spectrum of port wines:
Vintage Ports with exceptional ageing potential
Aged Tawnys with up to 40 years of barrel ageing
Premium Ruby Reserves with intense fruit fullness
White ports with refreshing elegance
The "Royal Selection" line, which only appears in excellent vintages and is one of the top wines in the region, deserves special attention. Production follows strict quality criteria:
✓ Hand-picking of the grapes
✓ Traditional fermentation in granite lagares
✓ Long barrel ageing in historic cellars
The company is increasingly focussing on sustainable cultivation and has received several awards for its ecological initiatives. The modern visitor zone with tasting room and museum allows guests to experience the world of port wine.
