BOMFIM VINTAGE PORT

One of the Douro Valley’s finest vineyards, Bomfim is the heart of some of the company’s greatest Ports, having provided wines for Dow’s Vintage Ports ever since it was acquired in 1896. The estate is situated in the centre of the best wine-producing area known as the ‘Cima Corgo’, which offers an ideal balance between the relatively wet ‘Baixo Corgo’ to the west and the intense heat of the ‘Douro Superior’ to the east.

In the good year’s 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 exceptionally good. They will tend to mature a little earlier than the very rare ‘Declared’ years, but can be every bit as good as some other Vintage Ports.

View wine description:

Prior to decanting place the bottle up-right for about 30 minutes. Remove the cork and allow the bottle to stand for a few minutes more, then pour the Port into a clean jug or decanter. Stop pouring the moment you see the first signs of any sediment appearing. The sediment in Vintage Port will settle very quickly at the base of the bottle. Dow’s bottle-matured Ports should be allowed to ‘breathe’ a little priordecanting to serving. A young Vintage Port will ‘open up’ very soon after decanting, whereas a very fine old Vintage Port will benefit from a few hours in the decanter prior to serving.
