FIRST KOSHER PORT WINE IN THE WORLD







The Royal Wine company, founded in 1848, has produced the first kosher port wine in the world with grapes grown in the Upper Douro Valley at the Quinta do Brunheda vineyard. For the first time in 500 years, since the forced baptism of 1497, kosher products are once again being produced in Portugal such as table wines Terras de Belmonte, Sepharad and Ben Rosh(Captain Barros Basto). Olive oil labels include Ribeiro Sanches and Sefaradi. More on these products to follow.
