Dow's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2018
Sharing the same provenance as their legendary Vintage Ports, the Dow's 2018 LBV is made using grapes from their 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.

| Based at Quinta do Bomfim in the heart of the Douro, Dow’s LBV Port is rich, with just a hint of spirit to contrast with the just sweet fruit, a Dow house style. Drink this Port now. |
