Royal Oporto Tawny |
| |
The most popular style of Porto world-wide is Tawny.
The Real Companhia Velha ages its Royal Oporto standard Tawny for an average of 5 years which is substantially more than most of its competitors, that only follow the minimum 3 years required by law. Blended in a consistent way, this fine medium bodied Porto combines the elegance of its fruity flavour with a mellow taste which ageing in oak barrels start providing to the blend.
Ideal "aperitif" for the French and an "afternoon drink" for the Portuguese, Tawny Port really serves well in any occasion and its flavour is considerably enhanced when served with nuts. It's recommended to keep it at cellars temperature although in the hot season is more pleasant if served at 16ºC.

Royal Oporto White |
| |
White Port is produced the same way of red Porto but made from white grapes instead of red grapes. It's blended and mellowed for three years in wood.
White Porto is traditionally drunk as an aperitif and the sweeter styles are excellent with foie gras. It's recommended to serve at 10ºC on its own but it's also very pleasant on ice and lemon, specially in the Summer.

Royal Oporto Dry White |
| |
A fine dry white Port made out of traditional white grape varieties such as a Malvazia Fina. Aged in wood barrels for 3 years, this type of Port is made using the same procedures as for other Ports but allowing fermentation to continue for longer before the fortification.
Dry White Porto is known as a classic aperitif, recommended to be drunk chilled and served with olives and roasted almonds. It is also very pleasant on the rocks garnished with a slice of orange.
