Tasting Notes
Rich ruby color. On the nose packed with rich and concentrated strawberry fruit, and hints of spices. On the palate, full fruit flavors, well balanced, and with a long slightly dry finish that is the hallmark of all Dow’s Ports.
Vinification
The wines for this blend are selected for their richness and concentration. The style is fruity, luscious and mellow with an attractive undertone of spice. The grapes are handpicked from prime areas of Portugal’s Upper Douro Valley and harvested in the fall. They are fermented for a short period of time before the addition of 100% neutral grape spirit alcohol. This step stops fermentation, preserves the wine’s natural grape sugars, and gives its unique, rich flavors.
