<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>Fonseca has belonged to the first rank of Vintage Port producers since the nineteenth century. 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. Then came the Guimaraens family who led the firm for over the century and established its reputation as a 'first growth' Vintage Port house. 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></p>

<p></p><p>Casa da Esteira Reserva Red Wine is distinguished by its aromatic complexity, with the barrel, the fruit and some suggestive notes of dry vegetable and spices, very well integrated. The palate is fresh, with salivating acidity and fine tannins, in a structured, tasty wine with a good length finish. </p>

<p></p><p>Dona Matilde White Wine was produced from the grape varieties Arinto, Viosinho, Gouveio and Rabigato. It is a wine with a citric colour and a very intense citric aroma, with tropical notes, anise, some passion fruit, mango and hints of pineapple, a fresh finish with notes of orange and lemon verbena. In the mouth it has a taste of tropical fruits, with a balanced acidity, a great structure and a long aftertaste.</p>

<p></p><p>Pôpa Reserva is a red wine with a very complex nose, with obvious notes of fruit, but also of woodland, which gives it a lot of personality. On the palate, it's a precise and elegant wine throughout, with a long finish and good ageing potential.</p> <p>These wines stand out for their balance, given by vibrant freshness and acidity, fruit aromas and floral notes, but also body and structure, imprinted by ageing in wood. Wines to drink at the table with comfort food.</p>
