Sandeman 10-Year-Old Tawny Port from the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro, Portugal, is a superb Red Fortified Sweet wine. Crafted from a blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, and Touriga Nacional, it undergoes fermentation in granite lagares and extended oxidative ageing in oak casks. This process imparts a complex bouquet of mellow red fruits, raisins, roasted nuts, caramel, and vanilla. On the palate, its rich sweetness is beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a lingering finish. This versatile Port pairs wonderfully with mature and hard cheeses or as a delightful aperitif.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation took place in granite lagares with vigorous treading to extract the ideal levels of colour, flavour and tannin before fortification. The ferment was closely monitored to determine the ideal moment to halt the fermentation by fortifying with grape spirit, leaving some of the grapes' natural sugars. The wines remained in the Douro until the spring following the harvest when they were transported downstream to the historic Sandeman cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia for oxidative ageing in oak barrels. The 10-Year-Old Tawny is a carefully crafted blend of wines between 9 to 12 years of age.

This 10-Year-Old Tawny Port offers a complex bouquet of mellow red fruits, raisins, roasted nuts, caramel, and vanilla. On the palate, its rich sweetness is beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a lingering finish with intricate flavours.
