Reddish tawny in colour. On the nose, aromas of mellow red fruits combine with notes of raisins, roasted nuts, caramel and vanilla. On the palate, the sweetness is well balanced by a refreshing acidity which carries the complex flavours onto the lingering finish.

Product Notes

Sandeman 10-Year-Old Tawny Port is a uniquely crafted, meticulously matured wine steeped in deep Portuguese heritage. An elegant blend of rich, red fruits and rich almonds, it captivates the senses with complex layers of figs, caramel and spice. This inviting libation is reflective of its decade-long maturation in oak, offering delicately balanced sweetness and warmth. Enjoyable both chilled or at room temperature, allowing its smooth texture and ethereal finish to be fully appreciated. Its richness and complexity is a testament to the winemaker's artistry; its hue, an enticing golden-brown, reminiscent of the sun-kissed Portugal vineyards whence it came.
