Description

Dow’s is owned and managed by the fourth generation of the Symington family, Port producers since the 19th Century. The family, whose experience dates back over 100 years, supervises all the vineyards, winemaking and ageing of this wine.
Dow’s owns two of the Douro’s finest Quintas, Senhora da Ribeira and Bomfim. They were acquired in 1890 and 1896, making Dow’s one of the first houses to invest in premium vineyards.

CRUSTED PORT
Dow’s Crusted is a blend of excellent young ports from two or three harvests, bottled without any fining or filtration in 2002. The legislation only allows the bottling date to feature on the label. This Port was then aged in bottle in the Dow’s cellars in Portugal for three years before being offered for sale.
Crusted Port derives its name from the fact, that exactly like Vintage Port it will throw a “crust” or natural deposit with bottle age. As with Vintage Port the wine should be stored lying down and will require decanting prior to serving. Stand the bottle upright a few hours before opening so as to allow the deposit to settle prior to decanting.
Crusted Port, although approachable at the time of release (i.e. 3 years after bottling), will repay the patience of allowing it to develop for 2-3 or more years in bottle. It will then develop the magnificent bouquet and flavour unique to bottle matured wines, and thus offers an excellent value alternative to Vintage Port.

TROPHY & GOLD MEDAL
International Wine Challenge 2008

GOLD MEDAL (Best in Class)
International Wine & Spirit Competition 2008

“Deep, ruby core with bright purple rim.
Fresh, spiced plum with dark cherry notes
on the nose. Rich and full in the mouth
with layers of berry flavours. Good
chocolate and ripe plum add to the
complexity. Fruit shines on the mid palate.
Great concentration and fine balance.
Firm, tannic backbone will ensure lots of
development.”

SILVER MEDAL
International Wine and Spirit Competition 2007

SILVER MEDAL
International Wine Challenge 2007

“Red and dark fruit, nice intensity, tannins are
loose but balanced. Finishes on a nice ripe note.”
The best festive wines
“A robust port with lots of peppery spice
on the palate that would make a fine
alternative to a full-blown vintage one.”
