Selected from the lighter wines of each year, these Ports are chosen for ageing in small oak casks to develop their style. Sandeman Porto Fine Tawny has the fruit and style of great Port but with an added finesse. Pale in colour and light in body this Port is superb as a chilled aperitif, or accompanying an appetizer, yet satisfying when served at the end of a meal.
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.
Tasting Notes:
Pale in color, clear red amber colours with a light intense body, open up to aromas of vanilla and evolved dried fruits. The elegant harmony and fresh flavour of red fruits unfold in the mouth and combine with the complexity of wood ageing and a good finish.
Food Pairing: Light in body this Porto is superb as a chilled aperitif, or accompanying an appetizer and satisfying when served at the end of a meal. Sandeman Fine Tawny has the fruit and style of great Port but with an added finesse.
