Dow’s is owned and managed by the fourth generation of the Symington family, Port producers since the 19th Century. The family, whose experience dates back over 100 years, supervises all the vineyards, winemaking and ageing of this wine. Dow’s owns two of the Douro’s finest Quintas, Senhora da Ribeira and Bomfim. They were acquired in 1890 and 1896, making Dow’s one of the first houses to invest in premium vineyards. MIDNIGHT PORT The grapes used in the production of Dow’s Midnight were a blend of traditional Portuguese varieties from the Douro Valley, such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão. Dow’s Midnight was aged in seasoned oak casks at our lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia for an average of 3 years, and bottled when ready to drink. Exuberant youthful fruit flavours make it perfect for informal drinking.
Tasting Notes
Dow’s Midnight is a fresh, young and vigorous Port, packed with ripe red fruit flavours, produced and blended to appeal to the younger generation of wine drinkers who appreciate well-made wines with excellent fruit balance. Food pairing suggestions and serving Dow’s Midnight pairs wonderfully with cheese and rich chocolate desserts. It does not need to be decanted. Serve slightly chilled in hot weather.
