Dow's Fine White Port NV is a true gem for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the craft of family-owned wineries. This fine white port is made primarily at the Quinta do Sol winery, using only traditional white grape varieties from the Douro valley.
The Dow family has been producing wine for over two centuries, and their expertise is evident in every sip of this fine white port. The winery's heritage and commitment to sustainability are reflected in the traditional winemaking process, which involves aging the wine mainly in wood to gain a rich golden color and an intense nutty aromatic complexity.
But Dow's Fine White is not just about tradition and heritage. A certain amount of wine is not wood-aged and is blended in to add freshness and fruit character, resulting in a balanced and smooth wine with excellent acidity and a long finish.
This fine white port is perfect for pairing with a variety of foods, including desserts, cheeses, and even spicy dishes. Its tasting notes include hints of honey, almonds, and citrus, making it a versatile and delicious addition to any meal.
