<p></p><p><span>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. <span>The Port shipping business was continued by Bruno’s son, John da Silva who in 1862 brought into partnership Frederick William Cosens. <span>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. <span>In 1877, Silva &amp; Cosens merged with another leading Port company, Dow &amp; Co.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>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</span></span></span></span></span></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><span>Dow’s attractive and distinctive drier finish is the recognisable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house.</span></p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>Quinta da Alameda Torreão Red Wine is made from Alfrocheiro and Touriga Nacional grape varieties, this red reflects the Dão region. The region's expressiveness can be found in the aromas of forest, wet earth transmitted by Alfrocheiro and red fruit by the Touriga Nacional. Elegance and character come through in the mouth, not too extracted and very well balanced.</p> <p> The Alfrocheiro variety's characteristic light colour gives it  a floral nose, reminiscent of the woods and the humidity of  autumn, while the Touriga intensifies the red fruit and  bergamot, giving it a pleasant intense aroma. The wood on  the nose is subtle, conveying soft notes of dried fruit. The  palate is elegant with well-present but delicate tannins softened by the barrel, the acidity confers freshness and elegance, remaining intense in the mouth and showing great  longevity.</p>
