94 points “The palate is super-smooth on the entry with plush saturated tannins quite spicy and peppery with an assertive structured finish that is quintessentially Dow's. Superb. 410 cases produced.” – Neal Martin Vinous
93 points “This estate has an enviable position on the north bank of the Douro River. It has produced a drier style of Port the tannins prominent and aided by lifted acidity and perfumed black currant. With this structure and density the wine will certainly age well and should not be touched before 2028.” – Wine Enthusiast
For over two centuries the name of Dow has been associated with some of the finest Vintage Port from the vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley. Dow’s typically produce 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 recognisable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house and has won the producer a loyal allegiance of advocates.
Dow’s Senhora da Ribeira 2018 is a single-vineyard blend of 45% Touriga Franca 40% Touriga Nacional and the remainder Alicante Bouschet and Sousão. Exceptionally aromatic with perfumed notes of blackcurrant blackberry violet and plum on the nose this vintage has a core of powerful black-fruit flavours and rich dark chocolate oyster shell peppery spice and coffee undertones. Powerful but beautifully balanced with fresh acidity spice and ripe but firm tannins it pairs wonderfully with chocolate desserts and soft cheeses like creamy Stilton or Roquefort.
Dow’s – owned by the Symington family – ranks amongst Port’s most famous names and is renowned for its powerhouse style. Their coveted releases use grapes from the phenomenal Quinta do Bomfim vineyard and tend to be drier and exceptionally long-lived. The Symington family are trusted hands because they are the world’s leading producer of premium Port and the biggest vineyard owner in the Douro Valley – a UNESCO World Heritage Site of jaw-dropping beauty. The company is also B-Corp Certified which means they are also on it when it comes to the environment sustainability their people their supply chain and giving back to the community.
