Every true Portuguese port lover knows Dow's, because for over two hundred years, they've been crafting the finest port wines. This is only possible with the finest vineyards, and Dow's certainly does, using only grapes from the Upper Douro Valley. It's a true family business, as alongside the Silva and Dow families, the Symington family is now at the helm. This is no stranger, as they own several properties in Portugal. Porto wines are a familiar sight for the family, and thanks in part to the Symingtons, Dow's port has achieved such a high quality.
The vineyards of Dow's 30 Years Old Tawny Port
The quality of Dow's lies primarily in its vineyards. The grapes are sourced exclusively from the Upper Douro Valley, one of Portugal's most beautiful regions. All the grapes—Tinta Barocca, Tinta Cao, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional—are grown in special vineyards owned by Dow's. These vineyards are Quinta do Bomfim, immensely renowned among true connoisseurs, and Quinta da Senhora, located a little further east. The combination of these two creates the character of Dow's 30-Year-Old Tawny Port, making it considered one of the world's finest.
