Sandeman Tawny Port 50 Year Old
In stock
Sandeman 50 Year Old Tawny Port represents the pinnacle of the historic Port house's Aged Tawny range. Carefully blended under the direction of renowned winemaker Luís Sottomayor, it brings together exceptionally mature wines with an average age of 50 years, selected for their complexity, freshness and remarkable balance. Decades of ageing in oak have developed a beautifully evolved character while retaining the vibrant acidity that is a hallmark of the finest old Tawny Ports.
Golden amber in colour with subtle greenish highlights, this is an intensely aromatic and layered Port. Mature fruit, warm spice and beautifully developed wood notes combine with an elegant freshness, leading into an exceptionally long and refined finish. An outstanding after-dinner Port to enjoy slowly on its own, or alongside mature cheese, dried fruits and caramel or nut-based desserts.
