Sandeman 20 Years OLD TAWNY Porto 20% Vol. 0,75l in Giftbox

In 1790, 25-year-old George Sandeman, son of a wealthy Scottish carpenter, asked his father for a loan of £300. His goal was to settle in London as a wine merchant. George Sandeman then founded the Sandeman company, which later became one of the world's leading suppliers of port and sherry.

From the very beginning, Sandeman specialized in the production and trade of port and sherry. Unlike today, he did not run his business from his own offices, but from Tom's Coffee House in Birchin Lane in London. At that time, deals were often concluded on the basis of a "gentleman's word." George Sandeman quickly gained an excellent reputation, which still shapes the Sandeman company today.

Sandeman 20 Years OLD TAWNY Porto is a masterful cuvée made from Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cao, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional grape varieties. Made using the traditional Porto wine method, the hand-picked grapes are destemmed and gently crushed before fermentation to extract the best aromas. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature with maceration on the grape skins. At the ideal time, wine alcohol is added, carefully selected by the winemaker to achieve the perfect sweetness and structure.

After the harvest, the wines remain in the Douro Valley until spring and then mature in the centuries-old oak barrels of the Sandeman winery in Vila Nova de Gaia. Over the years, the wines are carefully tasted, analyzed and perfected for this special Tawny Port. The final blend consists of a selection of wines that have been aged between 15 and 40 years. The result is an expressive 20 Years OLD TAWNY.
