About
Dow's is one of Portugal’s most prestigious port houses, renowned for crafting rich, structured, and elegant fortified wines. The Late Bottled Vintage style offers the intensity of a vintage port with earlier drinkability, making it a versatile and accessible option for collectors and casual drinkers alike.
Vineyards: Grapes for Dow's LBV Port are sourced from selected vineyards in the Douro Valley, where schist soils and hot, dry summers produce concentrated, ripe fruit ideal for fortified wine production.
Winemaking: After fermentation, the wine is fortified with grape spirit and matured in large oak casks for four to six years, developing richness, complexity, and smooth texture. Careful blending and ageing ensure consistency and depth, while maintaining the intensity and vibrancy of the Douro fruit.
