1970 Real Vinícola Vintage Porto Porto

Description

Founded in 1889, the Royal Wine Company of Northern Portugal, known among the people as the “Real Vinícola,” caused a great confusion at its inception between the two Royal Companies, the new one and the old Royal Company of Porto Wines. Through the people's voice and commercial slang, the Pombaline Royal Company founded in 1756 began to be known as the “Old Royal Company” and used that designation as a commercial brand. The century‑old Royal Wine Company, created under the auspices of the Marquis of Pombal, has become over the years a purely patrimonial society, acquired by the well‑known Fladgate Partnership, holder of major Port wine brands such as Taylor’s.
