Port

Dow�s Midnight Port is a modern style of Port that has been made to enjoy at any informal moment. It is a dark, rich and full-bodied Port that has been well mellowed in oak casks to perfect maturity. Midnight is made from a selection of very fine wines drawn from Dow�s own Upper Douro vineyards, Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira and other surrounding vineyards.

Siroco is pale straw gold in colour with a round, velvety texture and full fruit character delicately offset by subtle notes of oak. Its clean, refreshing acidity perfectly balances its off-dry quality.

Aged in seasoned oak pipes (534 litre casks) for an average of ten years and blended to a consistent marque each time it�s bottled. Much lighter than Vintage Port, these wines are delicious when served slightly chilled and are sometimes drunk as an aperitif as well as after a meal.

The 20 Year Old is similar in style to the I0 Year Old, but as you would expect with double the age, the colour is more amber, the nut and fig character is accentuated, and the flavour much more concentrated. If you stay in a Douro Quinta you are more than likely to find a bottle or two of this in the fridge.

This is Graham�s oldest marque still in existence and quite possibly the best Reserve Port on the market. Such is its quality that winemaker, Charles Symington, says that it is one of the most difficult blends for him and his team to assemble in order that it consistently achieves the freshness and vigour similar to that of a young Vintage Port.

The Senior Tawny, however spends most of its time ageing in barrels. through the pores of the wood, its contact with air is soft and light, which results in a slow oxidation process over the years. This is an elegant port with a subtle expression a lig

20 year old tawny ports are blended from a range different wines averaging 20 years. This prolonged ageing in small wooden casks confers the characteristic Tawny colour and imparts a deliciously mellow flavour profile. Niepoort 20 Year Old Tawny is one of the finest examples of this style available, possessing a beautiful balance between sweet primary fruit and developed savoury nuttiness. Brick r…

This lovely port is brick-red in colour with some orange-brown hues; it has well-integrated dried fruit aromas. On the palate it displays a great freshness with hints of subdued dried apricots and figs leading to a lengthy spirity finish

Brilliant golden / brown colour with a fresh nutty aroma and delicate subdued fruit. Medium sweet on the palate, interacting perfectly with the spirit which in turn gives a superb structure to the wine.

Late Bottled Vintage port is from a single year. The wine ages 4-6 years in old oak casks (opposed to Vintage that ages 2-3). LBV fills the gap between the rubies and the vintage ports since a Ruby Port should be drunk quite young and a great Vintage Port

Ruby Dum and Tawny Dee - the Niepoort 'twins' as reflected on the bottles. These wines come from the same lot, but over a five year period are aged differently so that the one is rich and ruby in style, while the other becomes paler and more tawnied. A rather novel and fascinating new approach which in our view really works well. Both wines are very drinkable indeed. At the same time that famous E…

In the colour red and amber. Very intensive bouquet of drying fruits with nut flavours. In the palate elegantly, with finesse. Flavours of dried plums and nuts. Beautiful balance.
