<p></p><p>The story of Dow’s is unusual amongst all the great Port houses. It began in 1798 when Bruno da Silva, a Portuguese merchant from Oporto, made a journey which was the opposite to that of the first British merchants. The Port shipping business was continued by Bruno’s son, John da Silva who in 1862 brought into partnership Frederick William Cosens. With the continuing expansion of the firm, Edward da Silva and Frederick Cosens were joined by George Acheson Warre, whose well known family had been involved in the Port trade since its earliest years. In 1877, Silva &amp; Cosens merged with another leading Port company, Dow &amp; Co.</p> <p>Although smaller than Silva &amp; Cosens, Dow &amp; Co had become a very highly regarded Port producer with a particularly fine reputation for its Vintage Ports and when the two companies merged, it was decided to adopt DOW’S as the brand name</p> <p>For over two centuries the name of DOW has been associated with the finest Port from the vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley. Throughout the 20th Century and into the 21st, the Symington family has built on the legacy of the preceding Silva and Dow families.</p> <p>Dow’s attractive and distinctive drier finish is the recognisable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house</p> <p></p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>Noia White Wine was inspired, dreamt up and designed from the Arinto, Antão Vaz and Viognier grape varieties. The inspiration comes from the magnificent landscape of the vineyards, where the vines grow and produce high quality grapes with extraordinary potential. Designing the wine meant precisely and surgically crafting the final blend. To enhance the Arinto, favouring acidity, freshness and salinity and thus integrate the tropicality of the Antão Vaz with the seductive and sublime expression of apricot, acacia and violets of the Viognier. This wine is faithful, with a unique identity and complicity.</p>
