Meet Dow’s Vale do Bomfim Wines

FROM THE WIRES...

Move beyond your expectations of easy drinking Portuguese wine with Dow’s Vale do Bomfim White 2024 and Dow’s Vale do Bomfim Red 2023 (SRP $15). Crafted in Portugal’s renowned Douro Valley, these vibrant table wines from Symington Family Estates offer more than just remarkable value—they tell the story of a family deeply committed to protecting their land.

In the heart of the Douro—where steep terraces trace the winding river and generations of growers have shaped the landscape—the Symington family has long believed that great wine begins with a healthy planet. For five generations, they have cared for the region not only as vineyard owners and winemakers, but as stewards of one of the world’s most historic wine regions.

That commitment continues to earn global recognition. Symington Family Estates became the first winery in Portugal to achieve B Corp Certification, meeting rigorous standards for environmental and social responsibility. The family has also earned Gold Member status with the International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), a distinction reserved for wineries demonstrating science-based reductions in carbon emissions and significant use of renewable energy across their operations.

This dedication to environmental stewardship makes these wines especially meaningful as Earth Month approaches in April, a time to celebrate the connection between the land and what we enjoy at the table. It’s also the perfect season to rediscover the freshness and versatility of wines from the Douro Valley.

Dow’s Vale do Bomfim White 2024 is fresh, lively, and aromatic, offering bright citrus, orchard fruit, and refreshing minerality—ideal for lighter spring fare. Its red counterpart, Dow’s Vale do Bomfim Red 2023, delivers classic Douro character with ripe dark fruit, subtle spice, and structure while remaining approachable enough for relaxed weeknight meals.

As the days grow longer and spring meals move outdoors, Vale do Bomfim White and Red are perfect bottles to open during Earth Month—celebrating not only the flavors of Portugal, but the people and practices helping protect the vineyards that make them possible.
