Sandeman Tawny Port 750ml

Sandeman Tawny Port is a type of port wine produced by the Sandeman winery, which was founded in Portugal's Douro Valley in 1790. Tawny port is a style of port that is aged in oak barrels, which gives it a distinctive amber color and a nutty, caramelized flavor profile.

Sandeman Tawny Port is a blend of high-quality grapes from the Douro region, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão. The grapes are handpicked and then fermented in traditional granite lagares, which are shallow tanks used for crushing the grapes.

After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for several years, during which time it undergoes a natural oxidation process that gives it its characteristic nutty flavor. Sandeman Tawny Port is typically aged for between seven and ten years, although some vintages are aged for much longer.

Sandeman Tawny Port has a rich, smooth texture and a complex flavor profile with notes of nuts, caramel, and dried fruit. It is typically served as an after-dinner drink or dessert wine, and pairs well with a variety of sweet dishes, such as fruit pies, chocolate, and cheese plates.

As a fortified wine, Tawny Port has a higher alcohol content than regular wine, typically around 19-22%. It is also known for its long aging process, which can last several years or even decades in some cases. Sandeman Tawny Port is a highly regarded and well-respected port wine, and it has won numerous awards and accolades over the years. It is a popular choice for special occasions or as a gift.
