Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

A sip of Dow’s Fine Tawny Port 20 Year instantly wraps you in a warm embrace of toasted hazelnuts, dried apricots, and caramelized figs, each note unfolding with the gentle richness only decades of careful aging can provide. Crafted in Portugal from classic Douro Valley grapes like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, this tawny port is matured patiently in seasoned oak casks to achieve its signature amber hue and silky texture. With an alcohol by volume of 20.00%, it offers a harmonious balance between sweetness and vibrant acidity, making every glass both indulgent and refreshing. Pair it with blue cheese or walnuts to elevate your evening into something truly memorable—each bite drawing out new layers of honeyed fruit and subtle spice from the wine’s complex palate.
