CRUSTED PORT

Dow's Crusted Port is a blend of particularly full bodied Ports of very high quality from recent vintages (normally from the two or three harvests immediately preceding the bottling date). These Ports are matured in cask for some 12 to 18 months before being bottled without any fining or filtration. Dow’s Crusted Port is then aged for a further three years in bottle in the Dow’s cellars prior to being released for sale. This prolonged bottle-ageing gives this Port a superb style and character with the distinctive Dow’s dry finish.

Dow’s Crusted Port is an outstanding wine with which to end a fine lunch or dinner and is ready for drinking when released onto the market, but it will continue to improve in bottle.

Vibrant and full of ripe red-berry fruit flavours balanced by rich black chocolate over tones, Dow’s Crusted Port is superb value for money and gives many of the unique flavours of the great bottle matured Vintage Ports at a fraction of the price.

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.
