Hailing from Portugal’s iconic Douro Valley, Dow’s has been producing exceptional fortified wines since 1798. This 10-year-old tawny port represents a blend of wines aged for an average of ten years in seasoned oak, allowing oxidative maturation to develop the characteristic amber hue and concentrated flavour profile that distinguishes tawny port from its ruby counterparts.

Nose: The aromatics reveal dried apricot, fig, and raisin, woven with hazelnut, toffee, and subtle hints of orange peel and baking spice that invite contemplation.

Palate: Medium-bodied and silky in texture, the palate expresses caramel, butterscotch, and dark honey alongside layers of walnut, dried cherry, and a touch of cinnamon, all supported by gentle acidity that keeps the sweetness in check.

Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of roasted almond and toffee that fade gracefully, leaving a refined sweetness on the palate.

Pair this tawny port with blue cheese and walnuts, dark chocolate desserts, or almond-based pastries such as tarte de amêndoa for a harmonious match.

Serve lightly chilled at 12–14°C in a small wine glass or port glass to appreciate the nuanced aromatics and concentrated flavours.

This expression suits collectors seeking an accessible entry into aged tawny port, makes a thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts, or serves as an elegant after-dinner option for special occasions.

Whether you’re exploring fortified wines for the first time or adding a reliable tawny to your collection, this ten-year expression offers depth and character at a price point that punches above its weight.
