Dow's
Vale do Bomfim Douro Red Blend
Douro, Portugal
Portugal does it again. I dare you to find a better value. Earth, mushroom, pine needles on the nose. Food pairing acidity, black fruit on the palate.

From the upper Duoro Valley where the region's wealth of grape varieties, mature vineyards and modern winemaking have been successfully combined. The elegant structure of this wine offers assertive spice aromas and delicious wild berry flavors. Grape varieties are 40% Touriga Franca, 25% Touriga Nacional and 35% Field Blend

Jul 10th, 2018Preparing for our adventure to Portugal Surdyks’ Recommendation:
(Douro) Portugal is a prolific wine country, best known for its sweet dessert wine - Port. World famous in its many styles, Port is sweet and fortified, prized for its rich flavors and lush texture. Portugal also has fabulous dry red wine. Dow’s “Vale do Bomfim” is made with the same grapes and sourced from the same historic Douro Valley that produces Dow’s great Ports. Portugal’s indigenous grapes – Tinta Barroca, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Cão – are names that should pique your interest and draw you to this imported discovery. Picked by hand and manually sorted with great care, the grapes are fermented in small vats. The resulting wine has complexity and style. Portugal’s Douro Valley has consistently good climate and growing conditions almost every year. The flavors are dynamic and the tannic structure is soft and silky. This is a really good wine for all occasions, with an affordable price and value.
$8.49 Spring 2017 ($14.49)
