Dow's Fine aged red port

Dow's Fine Tawny is a blend aged for three years, using small oak barrels in the lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia. This type of wood aging results in a softer and lighter style of port than Dow's Ruby, which is aged in larger barrels. This tawny port combines subtle fruit flavors with delightful nutty tastes derived from the barrels. Wonderful with dried fruit or desserts with creamy flavors. For four generations, the Symington family has owned Dow's Port. The experience of this English family goes back 100 years. Since the early 19th century, they have been making port in the beautiful Douro valley. Two of the best vineyards in the Douro belong to Dow's: Quinta Senhora da Ribeira and Quinta do Bomfim. These were purchased in 1890 and 1896, making Dow's one of the first port houses to invest in premium vineyards.
