Sandeman Tawny Port from Douro, Portugal, is a delightful Red (Tawny) fortified wine, offering a sweet and complex experience. Crafted from a blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão grapes, it undergoes fermentation with skin maceration and fortification with grape spirit, followed by ageing in oak casks. The nose reveals inviting aromas of vanilla and raisins, leading to a palate that beautifully balances fresh fruit flavours with more intricate, spicy notes derived from its oak maturation. This wine culminates in a fresh and long-lasting finish, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.

Winemaking
The hand-picked grapes are destemmed and crushed before fermentation at controlled temperatures, with skin maceration to extract flavour components from the skins. The addition of grape spirit at the ideal moment sets the balance between the wine's sweetness and bouquet. The moment of fortification, is chosen by the winemaker following strict control of fermentation temperatures and densities according to the vine variety, maturation stage and the final sweetness required. After the harvest, the wines remain in the Douro until the following spring, when they are taken to Vila Nova de Gaia and enter Sandeman's centuries-old lodges for ageing in oak casks. The final blend is composed with lighter tawny wines of different ages and origins to achieve a consistent style and quality.
