D* Dow’s Fine Ruby Port

NOTE: As part of our Explorer Series some labels may be slightly stained/damaged, but wines are first quality.

Product information
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.

Notes from Distributor
Handpicked traditional Portuguese grape varieties (red for Ruby and Tawny; white for White Port) are harvested in the fall and fermented for a short period of time before the addition of 100% neutral grape spirits alcohol. This step stops fermentation and preserves the wine’s natural grape sugars. Dow’s Ruby, Tawny and White Ports are aged in oak casks for an average of three years and then bottled ready to drink.
