The Symington family has farmed the steep schist terraces of the Douro for five generations, and Dow's sits at the drier, more structured end of the Symington portfolio, producing vintage ports that are known for their tannic backbone, complexity, and remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDow's declares a vintage only in exceptional years. Their ports are aged at the lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia across the river from Porto, where the cooler Atlantic air slows the ageing process and preserves the wines' natural acidity. A Dow's vintage is a long-term investment: most require at least 20 years before they open up fully, and the very best can evolve for half a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portugal  |  \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Douro Valley  |  \u003cstrong\u003eFounded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1798  |  \u003cstrong\u003eSpecialty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Port, LBV, Tawny\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dows-port.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVisit Dow's website →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dows-vintage-port-2017-75cl","title":"Dow's Vintage Port 2017 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003e2017 was one of the Douro's great years — hot, concentrated, the kind of growing season that produces vintage ports with serious longevity.
