Description

Dow’s Vintage Ports are an expression of its two historic vineyards, located in each of the Douro valley’s two finest subregions, the Cima Corgo and the Douro Superior. Quinta do Bomfim is in the very heart of the Upper Douro Valley with 60 hectares of vineyard yielding on average just 1.15kg per vine. The estate has an excellent balance between a temperate and a Mediterranean climate with an average 660 mm of annual rainfall. Predominantly south-facing and with ample solar exposure, the vineyard terraces are arranged on the schist slopes from 90 metres above sea level up to 349 metres. The grapes harvested at Bomfim are vinified at the estate’s own winery where they are fermented in lagares, faithful to the method developed over centuries and which makes the finest Ports.
Vintage report
The winter drought was broken when ten days of rain arrived in March, though they were accompanied by strong winds and some hail, and caused some flooding. Fortunately the vines were not damaged by this weather, though the season got off to a slow start. Heat arrived in the Douro with July and it was hoped the vines would catch up, but there was no rain again until mid September.
Vintage began at Bomfim 24 September and was general in the region by 1st October. The weather was fine throughout, the grapes looked nicer than they had for some years.
