Dow's 2016 Late Bottled Vintage

Produced in an outstanding vintage year, the 2016 Late Bottle Vintage Port has wonderful black fruit aromas with notes of violets, rockrose and mint. Mouth-filling on the palate with ripe berry fruit and brambles, peppery tannins provide structure and great freshness, leading to Dow’s hallmark drier finish.

Dow's 2017 Late Bottled Vintage

Produced in a fantastic vintage year, the 2017 Late Bottled Vintage Port has gorgeous aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice, and a touch of mint. Full-bodied with delicious wild berry flavours, the 2017 has impressive structure and peppery tannins, finishing with Dow’s hallmark drier finish.

Dow's 2018 Late Bottled Vintage

Sharing the same provenance as our legendary Vintage Ports, our 2018 LBV is made using grapes from our best-performing plots at Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira.

Aged in oak vats for up to six years before being bottled, the 2018 has exuberant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and a touch of mint.

Dow's 2020 Late Bottled Vintage

Five generations of the Symington family have tended the vineyards at Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira that provide the grapes for our LBVs.

Reflecting the remarkably hot growing season, the 2020 is full and generous with peppery tannins, forest aromas, and our hallmark drier finish.
