Product Notes

Sandeman Imperial Tawny Port is a classic, rich dessert wine from Portugal. It boasts an alluring amber hue and refined, complex aromas of dried fruits, cinnamon, and toffee. On the palate, this Tawny Port unravels layers of well-integrated fruity flavours, a touch of nuttiness, with a velvety, full-bodied texture and lingering finish. The wine has been aged in oak barrels, giving it an extraordinary depth of flavour and smoothness. Excellent served chilled, it pairs wonderfully with an array of desserts, mature cheeses, or enjoyed alone as a luxurious after-dinner treat. Quality, sophistication and pleasure make it a superb choice.

Tasting Notes

A premium Tawny blend with an amber colour. Full of elegant flavours, Sandeman Imperial Tawny perfectly balances youthful fruits with more mature notes of dried fruits, nuts and fresh vanilla aromas. Rich in the mouth, its complex layers are long lasting on the finish.
