Description
In a nutshell:
A superb, richly textured Single Quinta Vintage Port from one of the oldest Port houses.
The lowdown:
Single Quinta Vintage Ports are made in a similar way to other Vintage Ports in that they're bottled, without filtration, after a couple or so years in barrel and continue to mature in bottle from there. They will have a sediment and so should be decanted before drinking
The Producer:
Since 1798, the name Dow's has been associated with the finest Ports from the Douro Valley. They've had a relationship with the Symington family which dates back to before the First World War and culminated in them taking complete ownership in 1961. Symington's are the sole remaining independent Port producer in the hands of just one family and in addition to Dow's they also count Graham's, Cockburn's and Warre's among their estates. The Symington's themselves are closely involved with the running of Dow's and Charles Symington is the person in control of winemaking at the estate. He is one of the most highly regarded winemakers in the industry. Dow's Ports are made at two of the most famous Quintas in the Douro: Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira. The fruit from Bomfim and Senhora da Ribeira form the backbone of their impressive vintage ports and, outside of vintage years, they are also the source of very good value Single Quinta vintage Ports.
When to drink:
Just a bit drier than quite a few other ports which is Dow's hallmark, it's ideal with chocolate desserts, or blue veined cheeses.
