Description

Sandeman 50-Year-Old Aged Tawny is a wine carefully crafted by head winemaker Luís Sottomayor – the 2022 recipient of the Fortified Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine Challenge Awards in London.

Ageing is an art form that Luís Sottomayor has been perfecting for over two decades and producing an exquisite 50-Year-Old Aged Tawny was a challenge he was ready for, especially with the remarkable wines Sandeman had in house. “In Port wine, as in life, knowing how to age is an achievement. Creating a 50-Year-Old Aged Tawny that upholds and delivers on Sandeman’s high quality standards was a personal challenge and a test to the passion and experience of the entire oenology team,” Sottomayor stated.
Crafted with wines that have been aged between 40 – 70 years old, Sandeman 50-YearOld Aged Tawny boasts rich amber and green tones and showcases good aromatic intensity and an excellent complexity. With hints of balsamic, cedar, and tobacco box, as well as wax nuances, the wine reveals spicy traces of pepper and ginger and is accompanied by additional hints of caramelized fruit and apricot. In the mouth, it has good volume and a vibrant acidity, with strong notes of spices and candied fruit, and an extraordinarily long and elegant finish.
