Description
Port - Fortified WineVery deep ruby colour. The nose is complex and multi-layered, combining aromas of cherry and plum with floral notes of rock rose and hints of dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied, showing liquorice flavours of blackcurrant and blueberry, with fresh mint notes and with ripe, peppery tannins leading to a long and spicy finish. Ready to drink nowOne of the Douro Valley's finest vineyards, Quinta do Bomfim is at the heart of Dow's wines, having provided the main structure for its famed Vintage Ports since 1896. In non-declared years, the finest wines from the vineyard are selected for bottling as Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port and as such they closely reflect the characteristics of this single property, whereas a ‘declared' Dow's Vintage expresses the house style, derived from the sum of the several vineyards from which it is made. Five generations of Symington winemakers at Bomfim have developed a style that suits the vineyard; fermentations are a little longer resulting in a drier profile that has become one of Dow's distinctive hallmarks. The Bomfim vineyard is predominantly south-facing, an aspect that favours complete and balanced grape ripening and which results in well-structured and intense, complex wines.
Dow's Port is owned by the Symington family, which has a tradition of Port making that dates back over centuries. Dow's Ports come from Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira: both estates were originally acquired by the company in the 19th century and today they produce some of the greatest wines in the Douro.Dow's was one of the first Port houses to invest in the Upper Douro Valley, acquiring in 1896 the Quinta do Bomfim near the village of Pinhâo. Bomfim's 49 hectares (121 acres) of south-facing vineyards, give optimal ripening conditions. The old vines on stone-walled terraces planted by Maurice, John and Ron Symington in the 1920s bring added complexity to the traditional dry finish of Dow's Ports. Dow's is owned by the Symington family, Port producers for five generations since 1882, although through their great-grandmother Beatrice, they can trace their Port ancestry back to the 17th century. Today, five members of the Symington family work in the company, responsible for the vineyards and the winemaking of all Dow's Ports.
Dow's is owned and managed by the fourth generation of the Symington family, Port producers since the 19th Century. The family, whose experience dates back over 100 years, supervises all the vineyards, winemaking and ageing of this wine. Dow's owns two of the Douro's finest Quintas, Senhora da Ribeira and Bomfim. They were acquired in 1890 and 1896, making Dow's one of the first houses to invest in premium vineyards.
