At Dow`s we have always encouraged food pairing to enhance the experience and enjoyment of our Ports. For generations it has been well known that Port pairs well with many types of cheese, the classic combination being with Stilton. Now, an innovative tradition is developing which reflects the changing tastes of a new generation of Port drinkers and appreciators of fine wine. A sublime combination that defines a perfect food pairing; Port and chocolate. Recognizing the great appeal of this perfect pairing supported by the increased interest and appeal for Dark Chocolate, Dow`s set out together with the help of The Flanders Taste Foundation in Belgium to craft a Port that would provide the ultimate match. Using carefully selected wines from Dow`s principal vineyards, Quinta do Bomfim and Senhora da Ribeira, Charles Symington and his team produced a number of different styles of wines that they felt would best complement chocolate. After a series of preliminary tastings together with a well respected Sommelier and wine taster, the blend was refined to accentuate the floral aromas and the tannic structure of the wine. Samples of this blend were then sent to be scientifically analyzed at the University of Leuven, where Professor Lammertyn and his team identified the key flavour components that were both common and complementary to the Port and to chocolates of different styles and origins.
