History:

Andrew James Symington was a man who fell in love with the Douro and his wines, and believed that to build a lasting wine business, he and his wife should instill a long -term vision in their children. Andrew and Beatrice fixed their family in the vineyards of the Douro Valley, where their children spent much of their childhood. As an independent port of Porto Wine, Andrew Symington gained special renown when, in 1894, the Portuguese government entrusted him with the sale of about 20 000 Kites of Port Wine of the Burnay process. Speculative management by the Burnay banker family had resulted in a dangerous excess of port wine stock and, in order to avoid a market collapse, the government was forced to intervene. The skillful way in which this complex process was worth Andrew the respect of the sector and also of Douro farmers, both very dependent on the stability of the Port Wine market. In 1905 Andrew Symington became a partner at Warre & Co. founded in 1670, Warre & Co. was the oldest British Port Wine House in Portugal. In 1908, Andrew would become his sole owner. Later, in 1912, Andrew acquired a participation in another port -producing company, Silva & Cosens, which marketed his wines with the best known name of Dow´s and, at that time, had three important Thursdays in Douro. In the early 1920s, three of his children succeeded him in the company, managing it until the moment another generation, the generation of their grandchildren, joined them after World War II.
