Hooper's Colheita 2007 is produced on Hooper's over 100-year-old vines, which is the basis for their always high quality.

Port wine comes from one of the world's oldest appellations in one of the world's most important wine regions today.

The winery Hooper's was founded in 1771 by Richard Hooper, one of the oldest houses in the Port wine industry. Since the beginning, they have always produced some of the world's most charismatic port wines. In 1811, after Richard's sons had entered the firm, they changed their name to "Richard Hoopers and Sons LTD". Today, the company is run by Real Companhia Velha, which maintains the style and character the house is known for.

Real Companhia Velha is the oldest wine company in Portugal, having celebrated 265 years of existence and uninterrupted activity in port wine production.

Since 1960, Real Companhia Velha has been led by the Silva Reis family, who have dedicated all their efforts to the production of Port and Douro DOC, through an in-depth study of the Douro terroir . The company owns 5 estates in the Alto Douro Vinhateiro – Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta de Cidrô, Quinta dos Aciprestes, Quinta do Casal da Granja and Quinta do Síbio – a total of 557 ha of its own vineyard.

In the century-old cellars of the Real Companhia Velha and in the silence of its warehouses, the port wine rests in precious wooden casks - the work of skilled coopers who have served the company for many generations.

Dormant in a unique environment, the tunnels, barrels and port wine vats are as if lost in time… 10… 20… 30 years… what does that mean! … The time it takes for each wine to reach its exact ripeness point.

The proximity of the sea provides the natural climatic conditions essential for the aging process of Port Wine, characterized by the development of color and the velvetiness of the palate, which consists of a natural oxidation process – a mysterious way of breathing through the pores of the wood.
