<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>

But the «quinta» is much earlier than this and history confirms it as a great land belonging to the Portuguese Royal House, having been identified its first owner in 1725.</p> <p class="hiddeh1">Mirabillis, Quinta Nova Vintage, Pomares, Grainha and Quinta Nova Red and White wine</p> <p></p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>Located in the heart of the Douro Demarcated Region, Quinta da Deserta has its vineyards rooted between the banks of the river Tavora and the river Douro, in schistose soils. The combination of very hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters results in low yields but with high quality grapes.<br />The products sold from Quinta da Deserta are certified.</p>

<p></p><p>Barão da Várzea Grande Reserva Red Wine is made with grapes of the varieties Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz from vineyards planted in sandy soils with shale fragments. Enormous aromatic complexity, with notes of wild berries, spices and a smoky touch. In the mouth it is deep and distinctive, full-bodied, with round and silky tannins. Excellent acidity that gives freshness, elegance and character</p>

<p></p> <p>Migalha by Palato do Coa Red Wine comes from an old vineyard, aged for three years in used barrels and two years in bottles before being commercialised.</p> <p>The aroma is very expressive, with red fruits and rock rose, the mysterious and vaguely mineral side typical of old vines. Beautiful architecture on the palate, with an excellent balance between body and acidity and plenty of verve to keep it going in the cellar.</p>

<p></p><p>Lavradores de Feitoria (a.k.a. Feitoria) is a unique project, created on September of 2000. Resulted from the union of 15 producers, owners of 18 Quintas spread throughout the best terroirs in the 3 sub-regions of the Douro region (Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo and Douro Superior). Nowadays the company has 48 shareholders (of which 15 are producers), and 19 Quintas.  Together, they have a total area of vineyard of more than 600 ha.</p> <p>The goal of this brand has been, since the beginning, to create balanced and elegant wines that age well, having as a starting point the declared commitment with the excellence and tradition of Douro</p>
