Dow's
Dow’s 2003 Vintage Port - 1.5l
As 2003 was one of the hottest years on record in the Douro Valley, port that boasts this vintage is sure to enjoy a unique and appealing flavour. This offering from Dow's is no exception, with the intensity of the blackberries and grapes used in production unmistakable. This fruit is balanced out by a soft spice, and of course, just a pinch of bitter chocolate. The aftertaste is one of fresh black pepper that is sure to leave anybody seeking a top-up, thanks to the glorious balance provided by this vintage. While bursting with fruity flavours, this is a dry port, making it the perfect selection for anybody that finds traditional alternatives a little too sweet for their palate.
GRAPE
- Touriga
- Nacional
- Touriga Franca
WHAT IT GOES WITH
As a drier port than some, Dow's 2003 can be paired with more traditional meals - especially beef or game dishes. Naturally, though, it remains a fine dessert choice for any occasion, whether enjoyed alone or alongside cheese
ABOUT THE VINEYARD
Dow’s has been a household name in the Douro Valley since 1978. Having forged a lucrative and beneficial working relationship with the Symington family early in the 20th Century, Dow's sits alongside stablemates Graham, Warre and Cockburn as a family-owned and operated winemaker. With grapes hailing from Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira and Quinta do Bomfim, the vineyards have been recently renovated and restored to accommodate a range of modern technology. This machinery assists traditional harvesting and production techniques, including treading of grapes by foot, as part of a hands-on approach to wine creation.

A wooden box can make your magnum look even more special, especially if you want to personalise it for a gift. We can engrave up to 50 characters, in one of five different fonts, to the front of the wooden box.
We always intend to despatch any orders on the same day, on a next day delivery service, assuming checkout is completed before 1pm as this gives us enough time to prepare the package.
You can also track your order throughout the process, ensuring that you’re home to accept it or make alternative arrangements with DPD.
If ordering as a gift, please provide the recipient’s address and a contact telephone number so they are notified a delivery is coming. While the arrival of a magnum will surely be a welcome surprise, we want to ensure somebody is available to sign for the package. We’ll keep you updated about the delivery progress, and supply a purchase invoice that doubles as a receipt for your financial records to your email address. We never include an invoice with the package in case it is a gift.
We rarely need to process returns, but in the improbable event that we need to do so, we will offer a full refund on any product returned in its original packaging and in a re-sellable condition. Unfortunately we cannot refund shipping costs.
