Besides producing wines of exceptional quality, the estate is renowned for its knowledge of terroir and pioneering viticulture. Through a strict production policy, the selection of the finest Douro grape varieties, and systematic technical and technological research, the estate has established itself as a benchmark for producing superior quality wines in Portugal.\n\n\n \nThe Port House owns four vineyards in the Douro wine region: Quintas do Bom Retiro and da Urtiga, traditional vineyards in the heart of the Douro Valley, for refinement and sophistication; Quinta dos Bons Ares, one of the most modern vineyards in the Douro Superior, for a fresh and lively note; and finally, Quinta de Ervamoira, located in the Côa Valley, for structure, firmness, and intense fruit.

We can therefore conclude that this Ramos Pinto Vintage 2018 continues to develop its flavor as it ages in the bottle. We call it a living bottle of port. A vibrant red color with tawny undertones. The nose reveals notes of fruit like blackcurrants, cherries, grapes, and fresh raisins.

It's more profound and matures longer than a Ruby Port, but certainly not as complex as a Vintage Port. You'll be perfectly comfortable with Fonseca Tawny Port. Fonseca is a large company that became famous for its superb Vintage Ports. But what else is Fonseca, besides being a powerhouse among Vintage Ports? The Fonseca story all begins in 1815, quite a while ago indeed. The port house was founded by two families: the Fonseca and the Monteiros. Later, Fonseca was taken over by the Guimaraerns family, who spent over a century building Fonseca's reputation and shaping its current reputation. From the second half of the twentieth century to the present day, the Yeatman family has been responsible for the well-being of these beautiful Port wines.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Well-known Port in the hospitality industry \u003c\/h2\u003eFonseca's motto is determination and quality. As long as you're determined, quality will follow. With this consistent quality, which the port house has offered for many years, Fonseca Ports are a popular choice in the hospitality industry. Many top restaurants feature one or more Fonseca varieties on their menus. Fonseca Ports are also often used in wine pairings because they are also perfectly paired gastronomically.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Minimum maturation of 3 years in small oak barrels \u003c\/h2\u003eThe Fonseca Porto Tawny Port is made from three different grape varieties characteristic of port wines: Tinto Barocca, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional. The vineyards for these grapes are found on the highest slopes of the Douro Valley. A fantastic location with perfect soil, ample warmth from the sun, and cooling winds that blow through the Douro Valley. These three components ensure the perfect quality of the grapes. When the correct ripeness is reached, all three varieties are harvested separately. Then, the grapes are pressed evenly. This consistent pressing is crucial for the quality of the juice. The Tawny is blended with wines that have been aged for a minimum of three years in small oak barrels. This gives the port more power and suppleness than the Ruby Port.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Why buy Fonseca Porto Tawny Port? \u003c\/h2\u003eThis delicious Fonseca Tawny Port is best enjoyed slightly chilled.

The grapes receive plenty of sunshine, cool nighttime temperatures, and the breeze that blows across the Douro River. When the grapes are ripe, they are harvested by hand in the early morning. This Dow's Ruby is then aged in oak for up to three years. The result is fantastic: a ripe aroma of nuts, dried fruit, red berries, and a hint of jam. The taste is soft and beautifully sweet. We also call this Ruby Port a young port because it has a ruby ​​red color and is made for the fruit nuances. In the flavor of this Dow's Ruby Port, we detect plenty of dried rose fruit, some currants, and cherries. The best temperature to drink this port is slightly chilled, as this allows all the flavours to come into their own.","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775749918799,"sku":"1943","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/dow-s-masterblend-ruby-port_1943.webp?v=1770045091"},{"product_id":"dows-master-blend-tawny-port","title":"Dow's Master Blend Tawny Port","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of Dow's best-selling ports is this Tawny Port. With its excellent price-quality ratio, it's a top-tier port. For over two centuries, the DOW name has been associated with the finest ports from the vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, the Symington family built on the legacy of the preceding Silva and Dow families. Today, Dow's ports are still crafted with great dedication. This is certainly reflected in the many hours of labor in the Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira vineyards. This ensures the exceptionally high quality of this fine port house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Dow's and its beautiful history\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe long history of Dow's began in 1798 when Bruno da Silva, a Portuguese merchant from Porto, embarked on a journey that reversed that of the early British merchants. Bruno settled in London, from where he imported wine from his native country. He married an Englishwoman and quickly became part of London society, where his business acumen led to a fine reputation for his ports. Today, Great Britain remains one of the largest export countries for Dow's port. This memorable house has also established a strong presence in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e from grape to tradition to delicious port\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis Dow's Tawny is made from the classic port grapes Tinta Barocca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional. These grapes form the basis of many fine port wines. In the vineyards for all these grapes, a lot of work is done during the growing season. For example, extensive pruning is required to ensure the bunches receive as much sunlight as possible. When the winemaker has decided the grapes have reached perfect ripeness, each varietal is harvested and pressed separately. Yes, that pressing—that's still a special thing about Dow's. This pressing is best when the grapes are crushed very evenly. A very good, but intensive, method was invented for this long ago. Dow's is one of the few that still uses this method and also wants to keep it instant. However, this requires a lot of manpower, as the grapes are all crushed with (naturally clean) bare feet. All the men and\/or women stand in a large container and hold each other by the shoulders. At a leisurely pace, all the grapes are carefully crushed, allowing the finest juice to flow directly into the tanks. Because there are fewer and fewer men and women practicing this trade, Dow's has developed a machine that can gradually take over this method in the future. However, as long as it's not necessary, they will use it as little as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhy buy Dow's Tawny?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The result of all this intensive work is truly phenomenal. The craftsmanship, from the vineyard to the pressing, is evident in the love and care this port exudes. This port is made from three-year-old port wines, from which the final blend is created. These wines have all been aged in small wooden barrels, resulting in a wonderfully full and intense flavor. The use of small barrels creates more depth in the port than in the Ruby. An attractive yellow-brown color. DOW's Tawny Port Master Blend combines velvety aromas of caramel and nuts with deliciously ripe fruit like apricots, with hints of nuts.

The grapes are placed in concrete tanks, after which a group of men, arms on each other's shoulders, crush the grapes with their bare feet. This centuries-old tradition is held in high regard at Dow's. And the winemaker explains that it makes a significant difference because the pressing is so much more even. Because workers are becoming increasingly scarce, Dow's built a special machine in 2001 that also presses the grapes evenly, just like with bare feet. Nevertheless, much of the production continues using the centuries-old method.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The Dow's 10 Year Old Port\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nDow's cellars hold thousands of barrels containing various vintages of port wines.

Its long history began in 1798 when Bruno da Silva, a Portuguese merchant from Porto, embarked on a journey that reversed that of the early British merchants. Bruno settled in London, from where he imported wine from his native country. He married an Englishwoman and quickly became part of London society, where his business acumen led to a strong reputation for his ports. Today, Great Britain remains one of the largest export countries for Dow's Port. This memorable house has also established a strong presence in the Netherlands.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What exactly is a Late Bottled Vintage Port? \u003c\/h2\u003eWe're often asked what exactly constitutes a Late Bottled Vintage Port. Well, that's actually quite simple. The grapes for this port come from a single harvest year. However, unlike a Vintage Port, a Late Bottled Vintage is a blend of different Ports from that year. These are aged for between four and six years in oak barrels, after which they are bottled. The bottle always indicates the vintage year and the year of bottling. However, before bottling can take place, a lot of work needs to be done in the vineyards. This red port is made from five different grape varieties: Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinita Barocca, and Tinta Cão. These grapes grow on old vines, ensuring excellent quality. The vineyards are selected by Dow's Port's winemaker, and a great deal of care is taken! The best bunches are picked by hand when they are optimally ripe, and each one is transported in small crates to prevent damage.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003ePure class through many hours of work in the vineyards\u003c\/h2\u003e The five different grape varieties for this Dow's Late Bottled Vintage all grow on beautiful vines. The average age of each plant is around 25 years. Extensive pruning is required in the vineyards to provide all the grapes with the right amount of sun and warmth, while also ensuring sufficient cooling from shade and wind. Therefore, the way the vines are planted is crucial. Once the various varieties have reached the correct and perfect ripeness, the harvest begins. Each grape variety is brought separately to the winery and then pressed—a unique and authentic way to extract the juice.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does this Late Bottled Vintage from Dow's taste like? \u003c\/h2\u003eYes, that pressing—that's still something special about Dow's. This pressing works best when the grapes are crushed very evenly. A very good, yet intensive, method was invented for this long ago. Dow's is one of the few that still uses this method and also wants to keep it instant. However, this requires a lot of manpower, as the grapes are all crushed with (naturally clean) bare feet. All the men and\/or women stand in a large container and hold each other by the shoulders. At a leisurely pace, all the grapes are gently crushed, with the finest juice flowing straight into the tanks. Because there are fewer and fewer men and women practicing this craft, Dow's has developed a machine that can gradually take over this method in the future. But as long as it's not necessary, they will use it as little as possible. After this intense effort in pressing and blending, the Dow's Late Bottled Vintage is finally ready to be tasted. The color is a beautiful ruby ​​red with a lovely brown rim. The nose reveals elegant aromas of ripe fruit and spices. Not just any port, then. The flavor is full and complex with a mild, pleasantly sweet finish. This delicious port is perfect for serving with dark chocolate or aged hard cheeses.","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775757291599,"sku":"4823","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/dow-s-late-bottled-vintage-port-lbv_4823.webp?v=1770046304"},{"product_id":"duas-quintas-ramos-pinto-tinto","title":"Duas Quintas Ramos Pinto Tinto","description":"This red wine from the Port house Ramos Pinto is truly special! 20% of the harvest is aged in oak barrels for approximately 12 months.

Since then, the port company has built an excellent reputation for its barrel-aged Ports. Going back in time, Krohn was a very small company, focused solely on exporting port wine to the Scandinavian and German markets. In the early 1900s, the company expanded into new markets, including the Netherlands. In 1880, Wiese decided to sell his share to Krohn, as the company was too small to be shared between two owners. However, he continued working as a commercial agent. Thanks in part to his work, sales increased significantly, and the company began to grow.

The grapes used for a Vintage Port undergo a rigorous, hand-selected process. Only the finest grapes are considered for this exceptional port. Unlike other ports, all Vintage Ports, including this Fonseca Vintage 2016, are bottle-aged. This bottle-aging can continue for decades. This is because the port is bottled unfiltered. This does, however, create lees at the bottom of the bottle, sometimes making the port appear somewhat cloudy. Therefore, if you plan to serve a Vintage Port, it's advisable to store it upright a day beforehand or decant it shortly before serving.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eA port with great aging potential \u003c\/h2\u003eFonseca has declared the 2016 vintage a unique and rare 'classic vintage'!

Quinta do Cruzeiro began harvesting at the end of September, and Quinta do Santo António began harvesting in early October.
