Sandeman 20-Year-Old Tawny Port from Douro, Portugal, is a magnificent Orange (Tawny) fortified sweet wine crafted from Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional grapes. Fermented in granite lagares and aged oxidatively in oak barrels, it reveals pronounced aromas of dried fruits, honey, roasted nuts, vanilla, and cinnamon. The palate offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, with complex flavours of dried fruits, caramel, and roasted nuts leading to an exceptionally concentrated and long finish. This elegant Port pairs beautifully with mature and hard cheeses or as an aperitif.

Vinification
Vinification
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 20-Year-Old Tawny is a carefully crafted blend of wines between 15 to 40 years of age.
