Quinta das Carvalhas is a property of great beauty and spectacularity, with a dominant position on the slope of the left bank of the Douro River in Pinhão, extending across the slopes of the right bank of the Torto River, a tributary of the Douro.
Quinta das Carvalhas is the oldest and most emblematic property of Real Companhia Velha. Due to its vast historical heritage and an intense and rational requalification, it now represents the best of what we have and can produce.
The Carvalhas range honours this beautiful estate and its magnificent vineyards. Through our selection of wines, we explore the best that this estate has to offer, with a special focus on its old vineyards, from which the prestigious Quinta das Carvalhas Vinhas Velhas is produced. These wines reflect our soil, our sun, our vines, our history, and all our knowledge. A unique terroir.
“The estate that gives the greatest pleasure to work with, as it is the one with the most personality. Subtle and elegant wines, where the acidity defines the wine — just like the great wines of the world.”
