Dow’s Fine White is made from selected white grapes (principally Malvasia Fina and Gouveio--better known as Verdelho). It ages mainly in wood, gaining a rich golden color and an intense, rich, nutty, aromatic complexity. A certain amount of wine is not wood-aged and is blended in to add freshness and fruit character. On the palate, balanced and smooth, with excellent acidity and a long finish.
Serve with tonic water on ice. The combination is interesting and refreshing, as the bitter flavors of the tonic are tempered by the sweetness from the Port.
Or a glass of the White Port on ice, as it is traditionally drunk in Portugal. Nose of orange marmalade, honey, nutty, a little bit floral and fragrant.
