I have two bottles of real vinicola corval with an IVP stamp (not ivdp) and the volume in pints and . They came from an old uncle who was a publican and I think he put them in the cellar in the 1960's-70's. they were in a box with some older ports - had six originally - they taste fantastic
Im not sure what year and am trying to find out the vintage the only infomation I have is the IVP number GK365253
The bottle is short not sure how to post an image here - Im in Melbourne Australia
Thanks in advance

Re: Real Vinicola for sale
Corval is a quinta owned by Real Companhia Velha and Real Vinicola is one of RCV's brands. Corval made some single quinta ports from time to time and the port fans in Sweden (http://www.vintageport.se/house/QuintaCorval.php) have noted that there was a 1963 vintage released. This could be what you have in your posession, perhaps in a half bottle format if the bottle is short but not dumpy.
Value-wise, what you have is pretty rare and there may be some people willing to pay above the odds for such a bottle just to get one - but most of these people will be in Europe or the US. If the bottles are in good condition and have been well stored since coming out of your Uncle's cellar then in the UK you might expect to sell this for around £20-30 per bottle with the possibility of a bidding war between two keen collectors pushing the price up to something closer to £100. Obviously much less if you have half bottles.
