Dow's Boardroom Reserve Tawny Porto is a blend of fine old Tawny Port carefully selected from some of Dow's top vineyards in the Upper Douro Valley. The grapes are hand picked and harvested in the fall. They are fermented for a short period of time before the addition of 100% neutral grape spirit alcohol. This step stops fermentation, preserves the wine's natural grape sugars, and gives it unique rich flavors.

This is a ripe, sweet wine, full of toffee and smooth vanilla. There is just enough tangy bitter orange to give it a tawny character. The aftertaste, though, is soft and rounded.
