Dow’s Fine White Port NV
$29.90
WHY WE LOVE IT
- A certain amount of wine is not wood-aged and is blended in to add freshness and fruit character.
- One of the best ways to enjoy this white port is served over ice with a little tonic-water and slice of lemon–called a “Port-Tonic”
Varietal Composition: Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, Rabigato, and Códega
Elaboration: Dow’s Fine White Porto is made primarily at their Quinta do Sol winery. Only traditional white grape varieties from the Douro valley are used. Dow’s Fine White was 100% fermented off the skins and using temperature control so that fermentation takes place between 64-72º F. Aged for an average of three years, it is bottled when ready to drink and requires no further ageing.
Tasting Notes: The white port is a golden color with an intense, rich, nutty, aromatic complexity. A certain amount of wine is not wood-aged and is blended in to add freshness and fruit character. It is subtly sweet, smooth and well-balanced with excellent acidity and a delicious lingering quality.
PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Founded in 1798 by Portuguese merchant, Bruno da Silva, Dow’s has lengthy history of offering some of the finest Ports. The Dow’s brand name was established when another partner, James Dow, joined the company.In 1912, Andrew Symington, a Scot who had been working in the industry for 25 years, became a partner in Dow’s. Today, the company is 100% owned and managed by the fourth generation of the Symington family, who are today the largest landowners in Portugal’s Douro Valley with over 4,000 acres. For over two centuries the name of DOW has been associated with the finest Port from the vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley. Throughout the 20th Century and into the 21st, the Symington family has built on the legacy of the preceding Silva and Dow families. Generations of Symington winemakers have worked at the Dow’s vineyards: Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira, creating from them Dow’s superbly concentrated wines that are intense and tannic when young, maturing towards a superlative racy elegance with age and scented with violet and mint aromas. Dow’s attractive and distinctive drier finish is the recognizable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house.
