<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>Casa Ermelinda freitas is a wine brand recognized by the world for its magnificent wines. From its very beginnings, made the quality of its vineyards and wines a top priority. When the company first started, wines were produced and sold wholesale and unbranded. It was the current management that decided to take on the challenge that is involved in creating an own brand wine. 1997 was the year of the company's new beginning in wine making, with red wine "Terras do Po tinto", being the first to be produced and bottled on the premises of the Ermelinda Freitas winery</p>

<p></p><p>The Volcanic Series are wines of volcanic origin, where the soils, poor and stony, challenge the very definition of agricultural soil. In this almost "mother rock", in the middle of the Atlantic and at the base of Pico Mountain, pure and saline wines are born.</p>

<p></p><p>Quinta de La Rosa Leve is a young, vibrant red wine designed for immediate consumption, celebrating the freshness and intensity of red fruits. On the nose, aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cherry stand out, accompanied by a slight floral note. On the palate, it's fresh and round, with a light but surprisingly flavoursome texture. The balanced acidity and soft tannins give it an accessible and harmonious profile, ideal for relaxed moments.</p> <p>Perfect with red meats, roast beef and grilled meats, this wine is an excellent choice for those looking for a red wine that is easy to drink but full of character.</p>
