Dows Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port has a deep red colour. The exceptionally aromatic nose has aromas of violets and jammy red fruits such as cherries and redcurrants. The full bodied structure with firm tannins leads to an intense and slightly drier finish. It tastes great with chocolate desserts.
Over time, the winemakers at Bomfim have evolved a style that suits this particular vineyard; fermentation takes a little longer, resulting in a drier Port Wine that has become the hallmark of Dow's. The grapes are normally extremely ripe at the time of picking giving spice and pepper to balance the dark chocolate flavours, as found in all Bomfim Ports. Abundant fruit flavours are present, with hints of maple, raisins and ripe blackberries give elegance and poise to this wine.
In the good years when Dow's does not declare a Vintage, the best Ports of Quinta do Bomfim are carefully selected and bottled as Dow's Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port. These wines are remarkably good. They will usually mature a little earlier than the very rare declared years, but can be every bit as good as some other Vintage Ports.
