Details
Indulge in the rich and vibrant flavors of Dow's Fine Ruby Port NV, crafted by a family-owned winery with a passion for traditional winemaking. The grapes used in this blend are sourced from the Douro Valley, where the unique terroir and climate create the perfect conditions for growing traditional Portuguese varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Co.
For over two centuries, Dow's has been dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique character of the Douro Valley. Their commitment to sustainability and traditional winemaking techniques has earned them a reputation as one of the most respected family-owned wineries in Portugal.
Dow's Fine Ruby Port NV is aged in seasoned oak casks at their lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia for an average of 3 years, allowing the wine to develop its complex flavors and aromas. The result is a ruby port with exuberant youthful fruit flavors that make it perfect for informal drinking.
Story and Heritage
The Dow family has been producing wine in the Douro Valley since 1798, and their commitment to quality and tradition has been passed down through generations. Today, the family continues to oversee every aspect of the winemaking process, from grape to bottle, ensuring that each wine reflects the unique character of the Douro Valley.
Tasting Notes and Food Pairings
Dow's Fine Ruby Port NV is a rich and vibrant wine with flavors of ripe red fruit, chocolate, and spice. On the nose, you'll find aromas of blackberry, cherry, and plum, with a hint of vanilla. This port is perfect for pairing with rich desserts, such as chocolate cake or fruit tarts, or enjoyed on its own as a digestif.
