Description
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 then founded the Sandeman company, which later became one of the world's leading suppliers of port and sherry.
From the outset, Sandeman specialized 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 in Birchin Lane in London. At that time, business was often conducted on the basis of a "gentleman's word". George Sandeman quickly gained an excellent reputation, which still characterizes the Sandeman company today.
Sandeman 10 Years Old Tawny Porto is an elegant, intense red port made from a careful blend of grape varieties such as Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional. The hand-picked grapes are destemmed and gently crushed before fermentation to ensure optimum extraction of the fruit components. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, followed by the targeted addition of wine alcohol.
This port wine is traditionally matured in the centuries-old oak barrels of the Sandeman winery in Vila Nova de Gaia. The wines selected for the Sandeman 10 Years Old Tawny, which are aged between 9 and 12 years, are regularly tasted and analyzed to guarantee the highest quality. The result is a perfectly balanced tawny that impresses with its velvety texture and aromas.
A real treat for lovers of fine port wines. (automated translation)
