Highlights

Quinta do Bomfim - Acquired by George Warre for Dow’s in 1896, Quinta do Bomfim is located in the “well-placed valley” near Pinhão. The Symington family has continued its legacy since 1912. Situated in the Upper Douro Valley, the estate benefits from a transitional climate and south-facing schist terraces, essential for producing Dow’s renowned Vintage Ports. The vineyard’s grapes are processed at an on-site winery, where traditional foot-treading in modern lagares preserves centuries-old winemaking practices, ensuring the continued excellence of their Ports.
