Founded in 1889, “Real Vinícola” generates, at the time of its creation, a huge confusion between the two Royal Companies, the new and the Old Real Companhia dos Vinhos do Porto. And it is through the voice of the people and commercial jargon that Pombalina Real Companhia founded in 1756 begins to be known as “Real Companhia Velha” and to use this designation as a trademark. The centenary Real Vinícola created under the auspices of the Marquis of Pombal has become, over the years, a purely heritage society, being acquired by the renowned Fladgate Partnership, owner of major Port wine brands like Taylor’s.
