<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></p><p class="page-title">Meandro Red Wine presents a ruby dark colour, of great saturation. Very expressive nose, full of ripe berries. It lets the acidity guess gentle tracks of tropicality and green olive. In the mouth, intense and quite definite passion fruit that quickly is tinged in wild fruits, full of freshness. The alcohol is very well integrated</p> <p></p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>Milagres Alvarinho By Quinta da Pedra is a citrus and mineral wine, with soft notes of apple and pineapple, but very elegant on the nose. With great structure and unctuousness, as well as an acidity that gives it freshness and longevity, it is a wine with great potential for evolution and gastronomy.</p>

<p></p><p>The Alvarinho grapes used in the Soalheiro came from several small vineyards planted in granite soil between 100 and 200 meters and located in a very particular microclimate. Melgaço region, the northern point of Portugal, is protected by a range of mountains that create the perfect conditions of rainfall, temperature and number of hours of sunshine needed to the better ripeness of the Alvarinho grapes</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>

<p></p><p><span>This wine originates from grapes that have been carefully selected in a manual harvest. After they have been stalked and crushed, the pellicular maceration process continues for 8 hours at 10°C (50°F), maximizing the colour and aroma of the grapes</span></p>

<p></p><p>Ponte do Fumo Rabigato White Wine is crystal clear with a light colour. It has aroma of fresh fruit with a floral touch allied to an always present freshness. On the plate it shows complexity and longevity, a round tanin from the french oak aging, with minerality and acidity. </p>
