One of the most beautiful quintas of the Douro Superior, Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira was acquired by Dow’s in 1890 but sadly had to be sold in 1953. However, since the 4th generation of the Symington family bought back this unique vineyard in 1998 it has been an essential part of the great Dow’s Vintage Ports. Situated on the north bank of the Douro, it marks the location of an ancient river crossing point and is named a er the small hapel of Our Lady of the River, where in the past travellers would stop to pray before continuing their journeys.

| TASTING NOTES | With an opaque purple color, the Senhora Ribeira Vintage reveals lifted floral aromas of esteva (rock-rose) and violet thanks to the traditional Douro grape varieties Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with Sousão adding spice and fine acidity. This is a full-bodied wine, with excellent dark fruit flavors and a firm tannic backbone that on the palate clearly demonstrates Dow’s signature drier style. |
| FOOD PAIRING | Pairs wonderfully with chocolate desserts,and soft cheeses. Port is best served in classic Port wine glassware or white wine glasses. Avoid cordial or liqueur glasses as they are too small to fully appreciate the wine’s aromas. |
