<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>Monte Bluna Reserva White has a deep, bright straw yellow colour. Aroma in style, emphasised by the quality and remarkable richness of multiple dimensions. Orchard fruit such as white plum and citrus fruits of extreme elegance, notes of green tea and delicate hints of mint from the stream. Surrounded by well-integrated wood bringing sweet spices, dried fruit and brioche, all set against a limestone backdrop that lingers in the memory. On the palate it's elegant, exquisite in the balance between the generosity of the body, full of substance and vibrant freshness. The finish is marvellous in its length and envelopment.</p>
