Description
For over two centuries the name of Dow’s
has been closely linked with the finest Ports
from the vineyards of the Upper Douro
Valley. Since 1912, when Andrew James
Symington became a partner in Dow’s, five
generations of Symington winemakers have
lived and worked at their vineyards of Quinta
do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da
Ribeira from where they have produced many
memorable wines, including the only Vintage
Port made in the 21st century with a perfect
100-point score.

THE WINE
Dow’s Fine Tawny is a three-year-old blend aged in small oak casks at our lodges in Vila
Nova de Gaia. The barrel ageing produces a smoother and lighter style of wine than the
Dow’s Ruby which is aged primarily in large oak vats and tonels. Dow’s Tawny combines
subtle fruit with delicious velvety nutty flavours derived from the cask ageing. Bottled
ready to drink therefore does not require further ageing.
TASTING NOTE
With an appealing tawny colour, Dow’s
Fine Tawny combines velvety smooth nutty
and caramel aromas with deliciously ripe
fruits such as apricots, with hints of raisins.
On the palate it is fresh, well balanced and
with a long and slightly dry finish.
SERVING & PAIRING
Try Dow’s Fine Tawny chilled with dried
fruits or creamy desserts.
