product Details

Dow's 1955 Vintage Port

Vintage Port is a specific style of Ruby Port which is made only in exceptional years and from the ripest grapes.  The fermented wine is fortified before being aged for 2 years in massive oak vats which preserve the ripe fruit character.  Upon bottling, the wines continue to age and can reward patient maturation for many decades.

This bottle is from the truly outstanding 1955 vintage; bottled in 1957 by JAS Mellor & Sons Ltd of Liverpool.
