Specially selected Ports are chosen for ageing in wooden casks where gradual exposure to air concentrates the flavours and transforms the rich ruby colour to amber, creating the rare and delicious Sandeman Porto Tawny 40 Year Old. The ageing process intensifies the fruit creating the complex flavours characteristic of Tawny Port.
This 40-Year-Old Tawny is crafted from specially selected Port wines which were chosen for ageing in oak casks. Where gradual exposure to air has concentrated the flavours and transformed the rich, deep ruby wine into an amber, light tawny colour, creating this rare and delicious Sandeman 40-Year-Old Tawny. The gentle ageing softens the primary dark fruit flavours and highlights infused oak and tertiary characters creating complex layers of elegant nuances, characteristic of quality aged Tawny Port.
Tasting Notes:
An intense, deeply flavoured Porto Tawny 40 Years Old, with a massive bouquet suggesting vanilla, oak and honey, and a mouthful of very complex flavours of dried fruits, spices, and nuts. As the wine unfolds smoothly and develops in the mouth, one discovers a superb balance of wood ageing and vibrancy, characteristic of Sandeman Tawny Portos.
A perfect Port to end any meal and an inspiration for good conversation.
