Product Notes

Sandeman Vintage Port wine exudes a rich complexity and sophisticated elegance. It displays deep ruby hues, while the bouquet is layered with intense, ripe dark fruit notes, such as blackberries and plums, underpinned by subtle spice and pepper hints. On the palate, it unfurls a tapestry of full-bodied, rounded flavours, tied together with robust tannins, extending onto a persistent, lingering finish. Crafted in Portugal's Douro Valley, this vintage port wine is a classic after-dinner indulgence, perfect for pairing with strong cheeses or decadent chocolate desserts—a true testament to the quintessential British oenophile's refined tastes.

Tasting Notes

Deep purple in colour. On the nose intense and complex aromas of blackberry, black cherry and plum combine with spicy notes of cocoa, floral hints of rockrose and a subtle minerality. Velvety tannins coat the palate and a crisp acidity carries the layers of flavour onto the harmonious and lengthy finish. This is a powerful yet elegant Vintage Port, with great potential for ageing for many decades to come.
