AWARDS/ RECOMMENDATIONS
98 Points Público - Fugas

DESCRIPTION
Real Companhia Velha is the oldest wine company in Portugal, having celebrated 265 years of existence and uninterrupted activity serving Port Wine.
Quinta das Carvalhas, one of the most emblematic houses in Alto Douro, is endowed with enormous beauty. The property occupies a predominant position on the slope on the left bank of the Douro River, facing Pinhão. It covers the entire hill overlooking the river, extending to the ridge line and occupies part of the upper slope on the right bank of the Torto river.
Written references to Quinta das Carvalhas date back to 1759, and a good part of its vineyards – made up of old vines reaching the respectable age of 100 years – represent one of the richest and most varied collections of ancient Douro grape varieties.

WINE VARIETIES: Old Vines.
WINEMAKER: Jorge Moreira.

VINIFICATION
Tawnies with age indication from Quinta das Carvalhas are batches made from the Quinta's vast collection of old Port wines, aged in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. This batch of Vinho do Porto 50 anos was made from a careful selection of wines from the 1970s, 1960s and a small part from the 1920s, aged in the best oak casks.

TASTING NOTES
Endowed with a beautiful amber color with slight reddish nuances, typical of a very old Tawny, this batch of 50 Years Old Port Wine reveals on the nose refined notes of noble oak casks, varnish, cedar leaf and nutmeg, in a combination that shows a certain citrus freshness. In the tasting it demonstrates a firm structure, harmoniously combined with a wide spectrum of flavors of dried fruits and licorice, in a very long and persistent finish.
