Technical Notes

Sandeman Porto Fine Tawny is produced by the traditional Porto Wine method. The hand-picked grapes undergo stalk-removal and crushing before fermentation, under controlled temperature, with skin maceration so as to extract the best components. The addition of wine alcohol at the ideal moment sets the balance between the wine's body and bouquet. This moment is chosen by the winemaker following strict control of fermentation temperatures and densities, the later depending on the vine variety, maturation stage and the final sweetness required.

Food Pairing

Sandeman Porto Fine Tawny is a delicious accompaniment to any dessert with caramel, such as Crème brûlée or tarte tatin, or strong blue cheeses like Roquefort. To be more daring, match with foie-gras or a creamy seafood vol-au-vent.
