Dow's Vale Do Bomfim

Description

A satisfyingly rich, full-bodied and aromatic wine with assertive fruit-forward flavors of damsons and blackberries as well as peppery spice, all underlined by a vitality and freshness provided by the fine acidity. This wine comes from the Symington family’s Douro Valley vineyards in Northern Portugal, and in particular from those which traditionally supply the House of Dow’s, one of the family’s premier Port marques. The grapes are principally sourced from Dow’s Bomfim and Senhora da Ribeira vineyards, as well as from other vineyards, which have long supplied the company. The grape variety mix is: 30% Tinta Barroca, 25% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca, 15 Tinta Roriz and 5% Tinto Cão.
