<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>The history of the family Vasques de Carvalho has roots as strong as a vine and is confused with the history of the Douro. Its origins date back to the mid-nineteenth century and the family wine company, which has always transformed its production into generous wine, selling part to the exporting houses and aging another part, adding value.</p>

<p class="droidr t18 cinza66 lh150">Duorum Reserva Reserva Red Wine is aged for 18 to 24 months in French oak barrels (70% new and 30% second use), giving it great structure and complexity. It shows a deep ruby color and aromas of ripe blackberries, violets, exotic spices, and fine oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegant, with firm yet ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish. With around 14–14.5% alcohol, this wine is perfect for aging and pairs beautifully with red meats and hearty dishes. The wine is crafted by winemakers João Portugal Ramos and José Maria Soares Franco, whose partnership brings together decades of Douro winemaking expertise.</p> <p></p> <p></p>
