About this deal
Throughout the 20th Century and into the 21st, the Symington family has built on the legacy of the preceding Silva and Dow families.
If you need to switch up the repertoire and lighten things up a bit, while still feeling a little festive, then this might be for you. The current generation’s great grandfather, Andrew James Symington, took ownership of the Quinta in 1912 when he became a shareholder in Dow's, which had originally acquired the property in 1890.Aged for six years, and made with liquid selected from three casks in which the layer of flor yeast is still alive, you’ll still get plenty of character.

The package includes tasting notes and a personal message (please enter your message in the comments box at the checkout). Dows Fine Ruby Port is the youngest of the Dow’s wood-aged Ports, having been aged approximately 3 years in oak cask. Generations of Symington winemakers have worked at the Dow’s vineyards: Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira, creating from them Dow’s superbly concentrated wines that are intense and tannic when young, maturing towards a superlative racy elegance with age and scented with violet and mint aromas. Its wooden boxed packaging also makes it a great gift, and depending on your budget, there’s also a 10 and a 30-year-old in the range too.
Affordable, nuanced, and excellent for pairing with food, we’ve chosen the best for your festive celebrations.
