<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>

Its Vintage Ports are noted for their luscious fruitiness which develops great opulence and complexity with age.</p> <p>This Brand was created in 1815 by two families, Fonseca and Monteiro.

And finally the Yeatmans and their descendants who steered the company successfully through the second half of the 20th century and into the new millennium.</p> <p>Fonseca Bin 27, Fonseca Vintage,Quinta do Panascal and Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage are their most famous Port wines</p> <p></p>

<p>On the tasting notes, the Casa da Passarella Villa Oliveira Encruzado typically displays a citrus to yellowish color. The aroma is complex and elegant, featuring notes of white fruits (like lychee, white peach), citrus (orange peel, lime), and mineral, resinous, or smoky nuances, sometimes with hints of hazelnut or toasted bread from barrel aging. On the palate, it's a structured, full-bodied, fresh, and elegant wine, showcasing excellent balance between body and acidity, with a long, precise, and persistent finish. For food pairing, this versatile wine is ideal with structured fish dishes, seafood, white meats (like roasted poultry or stews), creamy pasta with mushrooms, and soft or aged cheeses. Its acidity and structure allow it to complement rich and flavorful dishes, while its elegance and aromatic complexity add an extra dimension to the gastronomic experience</p>
