Sandeman 40-Year-Old Tawny Port, 20% vol., 0.75 l, in a gift box online kaufen

In 1790, 25-year-old George Sandeman, the son of a wealthy Scottish carpenter, asked his father for a loan of 300 pounds. His aim was to set up as a wine merchant in London. George Sandeman subsequently founded the company Sandeman, which later became one of the world’s leading suppliers of port and sherry.

From the very beginning, Sandeman specialised in the production and trade of port and sherry. Unlike today, he did not run his business from his own offices, but from Tom’s Coffee House on Birchin Lane in London. At that time, business deals were often concluded on the basis of a ‘gentleman’s word’. George Sandeman quickly gained an excellent reputation, which continues to characterise the Sandeman company to this day.

Sandeman 40 Years Old Tawny Port is an exquisite blend of the Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Touriga Franca grape varieties. Produced using the traditional Port wine method, the hand-picked grapes are destemmed and fermented at a controlled temperature. Maceration on the skins extracts the finest aromas and structures.

The addition of wine spirit at the optimum moment ensures a perfect balance between body and bouquet. After harvest, the wines mature in the historic oak casks at the Sandeman cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Over the years, the wines selected for this exceptional Tawny are regularly tasted and refined.

The final blend consists of wines that have been aged for between 30 and 55 years, creating a distinctive, deep and elegant Port that is renowned for its complexity, unique identity and characteristic style.
