Product details
Touriga Franca is an indispensable requirement in any great Dow's Vintage Port and clearly stood out in 2024. It is therefore not surprising that it represents the largest component of the blend (40%), closely followed by Touriga Nacional (35%). When these two grape varieties stand out, the chances of having a great Vintage Port increase.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Alicante Bouschet,Old Vines
Tasting Notes:
Deep, rich aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, with hints of dark chocolate, black pepper, and shale powder. Concentrated on the palate, with a compact and firm structure that gradually reveals sumptuous flavours of blackcurrant, plum, and liquorice, balanced by vibrant acidity and peppery tannins with the characteristic drier finish of Dow's. The powerful and taut structure, with a firm backbone, is an unmistakable mark of Dow's great lineage of Vintage Ports that extends for more than two centuries. The vivacity and purity of the fruit, accentuated by the fine acidity, are truly remarkable.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
