The old vines first planted by Maurice, John and Ron Symington in the mid 1920’s bring a fabulous complexity to the Port wines made at Bomfim. When young Quinta do Bomfim wines are austere, complex and concentrated with very fine peppery tannins. Luxurious and silky on the palate, Dow’s 30 Year Old Tawny is extremely refined with flavours of quince and citrus and a stylish, lingering dry finish with nuances of tea leaf.

The Symingtons had a stake in the company early in the twentieth century and became sole owners in 1961. This Vintage Port boasts a deep and intense ruby color, with aromas of berries, chocolate and spicy notes. The grapes from these vineyards are vinified at the winery at Senhora da Ribeira, producing some of the very best Dow’s Ports.Dow’s Fine Tawny is a three-year-old blend aged in small oak casks at our lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia. The palate is smooth, hedonistic and loaded with sweet red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. When the Port’s are young, the aroma is of violets which matures into cinnamon and develop an elegance with maturity.

Dow’s wine making team set out together with the help of ‘The Flanders Taste Foundation’ in Belgium to craft a Port that would provide the ultimate match for chocolate. unless we get written confirmation from you that this is acceptable and that you will take full responsibilty if the parcel goes missing.Furthermore, emptying the traditional lagar takes a long time; in the meantime the fermentation process is accelerating away.
