Tasting Notes
One of the Douro Valleys finest vineyards, Quinta do Bomfim is at the heart of Dowswines, having provided the main structure for its famed Vintage Ports since 1896. Innon-declared years, the finest wines from the vineyard are selected for bottling as Quintado Bomfim Vintage Port and as such they closely reflect the characteristics of this singleproperty, whereas a declared Dows Vintage expresses the house style, derived fromthe sum of the several vineyards from which it is made. Five generations of Symingtonwinemakers at Bomfim have developed a style that suits the vineyard; fermentationsare a little longer resulting in a drier profile that has become one of Dows distinctivehallmarks. The Bomfim vineyard is predominantly south facing, an aspect that favourscomplete and balanced grape ripening and which results in well-structured and intense, complex wines
