<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><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>

<p></p><p>Colheitas are dated Tawnies aged in small casks. The minimum age requirement is 7 years, but the tradition at Niepoort is to age several more years before bottling. The wine takes on a Tawny hue. Wood and nutty tones are evident on the palate due to the wine’s slow ageing in old casks. Colheita goes well with dry fruits desserts and the portuguese "Leite Creme queimado". As a starter, the combination with foie gras is impressive</p>

<p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:16px;">Niepoort Garrafeira 1987  is not just a wine; it means by itself quality far above the traditional canons. On the taste reveals a great mixture of sensations, aromas and flavours with a perfect balance between youth and experience, between the novelty of the fruit and the “good old age” that only long years of ageing can achieve</span></p>

<p></p><p>Vintage Port maintains Niepoort's tradition of making balanced Ports with great concentration, being at the same time fine and delicate.</p> <p>The magic of Vintage Port is different in every phase: as a young wine it captures the youthful fruit characters. Then, after 20 years or more, the effects of the slow bottle age integration are revealed and finally, after many decades, the spirit dominates the wine. Vintage Port is amazing in all the three phases</p> <p></p> <p></p>

<p></p><p><span>LBV Ports fill the gap between Ruby and Vintage Ports, as Rubies should be drunk quite young and a Vintage Port may need 15 to 20 years to really open up and show its splendor</span></p>

<p></p><p><span>Niepoort white 10 years old presents a classic style due to the long oxidative ageing process and the extended skin maceration. Serve chilled as an aperitif, with dessert or on its own at the end of a meal</span></p> <p></p>

<p></p><p><span>Bioma is an ultra-traditional style of Vintage Port. This wine is inspired by the old Vintage Ports from 1970 and before, which were shipped in lodge pipes (550 liters) to England.<br /></span>Niepoort Bioma Vintage 2016 Port Wine is an organic wine.</p>

<p></p><p>Niepoort Nat Cool Trudy Ruby Port Wine.<br />It presents m<span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">edium deep ruby colour with slighty exuberant aroma of cherries and dark plums with superb purity of fruit and freshness. On the palate the primary fruit and freshness are very present and superbly integrated with an acid driven seductive backbone of eloquent tannins</span></p>

<p></p><p><span>Niepoort produces 10, 20 and 30 years old Tawny. The prolonged ageing in small wooden casks confers the characteristic Tawny colour. The main features of an aged Tawny are the complexity of aromas, the freshness and a persistent bouquet and refinement</span></p> <p></p> <p></p>
