50 Year Old Tawny

Sandeman Port 50 Year Old Tawny

Tasting Notes

A golden colour with greenish tints. An aroma of good aromatic intensity and excellent complexity with balsamic notes of cedar and tobacco box, hints of wax and ginger, and spices such as pepper. It has further notes of caramelised fruit and jammy apricots. On the palate, it has good volume and a vibrant acidity with prominent notes of spices and crystallised fruit that invite an extraordinarily long and elegant finish.

Varieties

Traditional Douro grape varieties

Technical Notes

Fermented grapes are pressed underfoot in granite lagares in the traditional manner for Port wine. The wine's balance and harmony, as well as its structure, are obtained by carefully selecting the grapes and choosing the correct moment to add wine spirit and halt fermentation.

Food Pairing

This wine is very complex and can be appreciated on its own or paired with desserts that have dried fruit or a caramel base.

Did you know fact

Specially selected Ports are chosen for ageing in wooden casks where gradual exposure to air concentrates the flavors and transforms the rich ruby color to amber, creating the rare and delicious Sandeman 50 Year Old Tawny. The ageing process intensifies the fruit creating the complex flavors characteristic of Tawny Port. Wines included in this rare and unique wine are aged between 40-70 years. A perfect end to any meal and an inspiration for good conversation.
