Winery notes
"The grapes used in the production of Dow’s Fine Ruby were a blend of traditional Portuguese varieties from the Douro Valley. Dow’s Fine Ruby was aged in seasoned oak casks at our lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia for an average of 3 years, and bottled when ready to drink. Exuberant youthful fruit flavours make it perfect for informal drinking. It is ready to drink and enjoy when bottled and does not require further ageing."
91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023
"Complex and enticing, the bouquet shows dark fruit, smoked game, cake spice and dried flower aromas, followed by a generously weighted palate offering supple texture and attractive sweetness. Smooth and soothing with beautifully layered mouthfeel and silky tannins."
