Dow's Vintage Port 2000
Welcome to the world of Dow's Vintage Port 2000, a wine that is produced only in years of exceptional quality. This vintage represents only a small part of the total company's production in that year, making it a rare and special find for wine enthusiasts.
Dow's is a family-owned winery with a rich heritage that dates back to the 18th century. The Symington family has been producing wine for five generations, and their commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in every bottle.
The traditional winemaking process used by Dow's is a testament to their craft and attention to detail. The grapes are hand-picked and foot-trodden in granite lagares, a process that has remained unchanged for centuries. This method allows for gentle extraction of the grapes' flavors and tannins, resulting in a wine that is both complex and balanced.
The Dow's Vintage Port 2000 has a very dark opaque purple color, with a typically spicy nose and intense underlying aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants. On the palate, the wine has enormous weight and structure, with a marvelous balance of dense black fruit flavors wrapped in a tannic cloak.
This vintage is made slightly drier in the classic Dow tradition, which due to its superb structure will evolve into a classic vintage port. It is the perfect wine to pair with rich, decadent desserts like chocolate cake or crème brûlée.
