Tasting Notes

Dows Quinta Senhora Da Ribeira Vintage Port 2018

This port represents the extraordinary heritage of one of the Douro Valley’s most iconic estates. Named after the historic chapel dedicated to the “Lady of the River”, Quinta Senhora da Ribeira has been central to Dow’s Vintage Port production for more than a century.

The cooler 2018 growing season produced a Vintage Port of remarkable freshness and refinement, balancing the estate’s natural power with floral elegance, ripe fruit character and the unmistakable dry finish associated with Dow’s.

Tasting Profile:

  • Appearance: Deep purple with impressive intensity.
  • Nose: Beautifully aromatic with violet, rock rose and fresh floral notes surrounding concentrated black fruit.
  • Palate: Full-bodied and harmonious, revealing layers of ripe blackberry, plum and dark fruit supported by juicy, polished tannins.
  • Finish: Long and sophisticated with peppery spice, excellent structure and remarkable persistence.

Occasion & Buyer Profile

With only 410 cases produced, this is a collector’s dream, ideal for milestone celebrations or premium gifting. After‑dinner indulgence & contemplative sipping.

Food Pairing

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Enjoy with rich beef dishes, slow‑cooked, charred or deeply savoury all pair seamlessly with the wine’s saturated tannins and pepper‑driven structure. These robust flavours mirror its depth and age‑worthy intensity.

Chocolate tarts, berry compotes or praline desserts amplify the Port’s dark‑fruit richness and marine‑tinged complexity. Spiced desserts reflect its peppery finish.

Aged hard cheeses provide a refined counterpoint to the wine’s floral lift and black‑fruit depth, enhancing its elegance and structure.

FAQs For Dows Quinta Senhora Da Ribeira Vintage Port 2018

How is this port produced?

Grapes are harvested from steep schist terraces and fermented in traditional lagares to maximise colour, tannin and aromatic extraction. The cooler profile of this year preserved freshness and lifted violet and rock‑rose aromatics.

Only 410 cases were produced, making this one of the smallest and most distinctive single‑quinta releases. Bottled young, it will evolve for decades, gaining complexity, depth and Dow’s hallmark structure.

Should Vintage Port be opened in advance?

Vintage Port benefits from being opened and decanted before serving. This removes any natural sediment and gives the wine time to open, allowing its aromas and flavours to become more expressive.

How long does this port last after opening?

Once opened, Vintage Port is best enjoyed within a few days. Keeping the bottle sealed and stored somewhere cool after serving helps maintain its quality.

Can it improve with age?

Yes. Vintage Port is designed to evolve over time. With careful storage, the wine can become more complex as the tannins soften and the different elements of the wine integrate.
