Product Notes

Sandeman Ruby Port is an exemplary Portuguese wine, famed for its robust, fruity flavour profile. This ruby-coloured port is appealingly sweet, imparting lush notes of rich, ripe red berries and plums, beautifully balanced with a hint of smooth chocolate and a backbone of firm tannins. Aged in wood, it carries an intoxicatingly rich aroma, combining ripe fruits with a touch of earthiness. The Sandeman Ruby Port possesses a sumptuously plump body that lingers on the palate. An ideal companion to decadent desserts or cheeses, it represents the perfect conclusion to any fine British dining experience.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant ruby red in colour. On the nose the Ruby Port shows clean, bright aromas of ripe plums and strawberries. The full body and rich ripe flavours are accompanied on the palate by soft juicy tannins and well balanced sweetness.
