WINEMAKING
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.
MATURATION
After the harvest, the wines remain in the Douro until the following Spring, when they are taken to
V.N.Gaia and enter Sandeman’s centuries-old lodges for ageing in oak wood casks, as required by Porto Wine traditional ageing system. Throughout the years the wines are carefully tasted and
analysed by the oenology team who also makes all necessary corrections and prepares the final
blend so as to keep Sandeman Porto Fine Tawny’s style and character. The final blend is filtered
and cold-stabilised prior to bottling.
STORE
The bottle should be kept upright, protected from light and humidity, at a constant temperature of
16ºC-18ºC.
SERVE
Sandeman Porto Fine Tawny is ready for drinking and does not require decanting. Serve between
12ºC-16ºC. Once open, it should be consumed within 8 weeks.
ENJOY
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
