<p>The story of Dow’s is unusual amongst all the great Port houses. It began in 1798 when Bruno da Silva, a Portuguese merchant from Oporto, made a journey which was the opposite to that of the first British merchants. The Port shipping business was continued by Bruno’s son, John da Silva who in 1862 brought into partnership Frederick William Cosens. With the continuing expansion of the firm, Edward da Silva and Frederick Cosens were joined by George Acheson Warre, whose well known family had been involved in the Port trade since its earliest years. In 1877, Silva &amp; Cosens merged with another leading Port company, Dow &amp; Co.</p> <p>Although smaller than Silva &amp; Cosens, Dow &amp; Co had become a very highly regarded Port producer with a particularly fine reputation for its Vintage Ports and when the two companies merged, it was decided to adopt DOW’S as the brand name</p> <p>For over two centuries the name of DOW has been associated with the finest Port from the vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley. Throughout the 20th Century and into the 21st, the Symington family has built on the legacy of the preceding Silva and Dow families.</p> <p>Dow’s attractive and distinctive drier finish is the recognisable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house</p> <p> </p>

<p></p> <p>In 2001 began the adventure of Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges. This young couple at first had no vineyards or wine, but a common dream, a personal project to which they dedicated themselves body and soul.<br />The name Wine &amp; Soul is the consequence of his passion and total commitment to wine. From the beginning the work of this company focuses on an untiring search for exceptional vineyards in the Pinhão valley, the historic heart of the great Port wines, and give them a voice</p>

<p></p><p>In Zambujeira do Mar, where the high temperatures of the Alentejo are mitigated by the Atlantic, the concentration typical of inland viticulture is balanced by the freshness and humidity of the sea, leading to ideal maturation. The grapes ripen, thus, in a slow and balanced way, with cool and wet winters, mild summers and the constant presence of the sea winds, creating wines where elegance overrides robustness.</p>

<p></p> <p>Teixinha Field Blend Tava Red Wine emphasises the purity of the fruit, which has been preserved by ageing for 14 months in amphorae. The palate has also benefited from this more traditional ageing, which has rounded out the tannins and maintained the wine's freshness and elegance. It seems to us to represent the enormous potential of the wines from this region</p> <p>Teixinha Amphora Red Wine</p>

<p>Fitapreta Branco is a wine of origin, a diligent effort to revive the old formula of Alentejo's whites by using typical regional grape varieties from old vines, averaging over 50 years old, in field blend. Some grape varieties such as Tamarez or Trincadeira das Pratas and Alicante Branco or Boal de Alicante, are confined to just a few hectares. Produced with minimal intervention, it conveys the pure aromas and flavors of Alentejo. The Fitapreta Branco is more than just a wine; it is a testament to the rich wine-making heritage of Alentejo, brought to life with a modern touch.</p>

<p></p><p>Quinta do Mouro Vinha da Gafaria has a bright citrus colour. Delicate aroma, with floral, slightly vegetal notes and very defined white fruit, accompanied by a mineral hint of wet stone. In the tasting it has a surprising structure, with a great medium volume, very mineral and fresh, finishing long and very persistent with a very present acidity</p>
