2024 Vintage Port – Real Companhia Velha

About En Primeur
Offered en primeur, this wine is available to secure now while still maturing at the estate, ahead of its official release. Purchasing at this stage provides early access to a fully declared vintage at a favourable price, with the wine shipped once it is ready for delivery.

Real Companhia Velha Vintage Port 2024 represents a classic expression from one of the Douro’s most historic houses, combining tradition, structure, and depth. Sourced from the estate’s prime vineyards across the Douro Valley, the wine reflects both the scale and experience of Portugal’s oldest wine company, with a focus on producing well-balanced, age-worthy vintage ports.

In the glass, it shows a deep, opaque purple colour, indicative of its concentration and youth. The nose is rich and expressive, with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, supported by hints of rockrose, dark chocolate, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins providing backbone, balanced by ripe fruit and a fresh acidity that carries through to a long, persistent finish.

More traditional in style, Real Companhia Velha Vintage Ports tend to show a slightly firmer structure in youth, making them particularly suited for long-term ageing. The 2024 is expected to develop beautifully over time, revealing complex notes of dried fruits, cocoa, tobacco, and spice as it matures.

Best enjoyed after careful decanting, it pairs exceptionally well with strong cheeses or dark chocolate desserts, though it will reward patience in the cellar for those looking to experience its full evolution.

Condition

This wine is offered En Primeur, meaning you are purchasing it early, before it is released for general sale. By securing it now, you guarantee an allocation from the vintage, with delivery at a later date once the wine has been bottled and shipped to the UK.
The price shown is Duty Paid, so it already includes UK alcohol duty and VAT, and standard delivery costs to a UK delivery address.
En Primeur wines are typically intended for long-term ageing and may not be ready for immediate drinking upon arrival.
