Dow’s 2022 Vintage Port
The Dow’s 2022 vintage port shows the finesse and complexity that is expected from the Senhora da Ribeira vineyard. This wine is a tribute to the old Touriga Nacional vines that were able to ripen despite the 2022 being the earliest harvest on record. This has led to a wine that is highly perfumed with floral notes, and which exhibits great purity of fruit. At first, there is the scent of roses, secondary – the smell of orange flowers, which gives a rather tender and seductive aroma. The palate is very slender and taut with a delicate fruit character, flavors of kirsch and hints of strawberry, supported by razor-sharp acidity. This gives the wine a lifted freshness which is seductive and graceful, however, the wine is not dominated by this acidity.
The Dow’s 2022 Vintage Port is bottled without filtration, to retain as much of the wine’s texture and character as possible; it is made by Charles Symington and Ricardo Carvalho, who have fine-tuned the wine’s fruit and tannins to create a port that is both instantly appealing and capable of aging gracefully. This vintage is a great opportunity to own a bottle of wine which is a great example of the Douro Superior sub-region history.
Quevedo 2022 Vintage Port

The Quevedo 2022 is a field blend of hand-picked grapes from the family vineyard on the plateau of São João da Pesqueira, which is one of the best regions for port production. This wine is opaque violet and is best consumed while young, this wine has flavors of black cherry and blueberries. The wine has a full body and the fruit flavors are fresh with an intense and silky tannin that makes it a complex and elegant wine.

Kopke 2022 Vintage Port

The 2022 vintage was characterized by an unusual weather pattern, winter was warm and dry and spring and summer were hot and dry. However, these are not the best of vintages and yet the old vines and the plots of Touriga Nacional at Quinta de São Luiz yielded grapes with great depth and character. The aroma of the Kopke 2022 Vintage Port is fresh and balsamic, which is well balanced with the acidity and the concentrated fruit aroma of red fruit, heather, and black pepper.
