Product Notes

Sandeman Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port is a rich and full-bodied wine that is characterized by its intense aroma of red and black fruits, chocolate and spices. It is made from a blend of traditional grape varieties cultivated in the Douro Valley, Portugal, and aged for five years in oak barrels. This exceptional wine has a deep ruby color and a complex flavor profile that features hints of berry jam, plum, and vanilla, along with a long and lingering finish. It pairs perfectly with chocolate desserts or rich cheeses and is best served at room temperature to fully appreciate its nuances of flavor and aroma. Sandeman Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port is a truly decadent treat and a must-try for all port wine lovers.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in colour, this wine boasts intense and complex aromas of ripe and juicy blackberries, black cherries, strawberries and plums, married with spicy notes and subtle hints of cocoa. On the palate, firm but ripe tannins and a lively acidity carry the sumptuous flavours onto the lingering finish.

About the Winery

Sandeman

The Sandeman winery was first established in 1790 by brothers George and David Sandeman. Eight years later, David quit and moved on to a different job, leaving George Sandeman to handle the affairs of the winery.  With its headquarters in Portugal, the Sandeman winery is quite famous for its Port & Sherry brand of wines. When you go on a wine tourism tour to Portugal, you cannot afford to miss the Sandeman winery.

The Sandeman wine cellars are very popular and should be visited by wine lovers, without fail. You can find the Quinta do Seixo Wine Centre, the cellar of the Sandeman winery, right in the heart of the Douro Valley. You can book one of the many wine tours to enjoy a walk around the cellars and understand more about the authentic winemaking process of the most popular wine in Portugal. You can also get to taste some of the special Porto wine, which has been created by wineries here. When you opt for premium tours, you get a chance to taste three categories of wine –white, ruby and tawny.

Sandeman Porto and Sandeman Sherry are the two main varieties brewed in the Sandeman winery. The cellars of this winery are considered to be one of the best in Portugal for tasting wine. A man dressed as the trademark Sandeman Don (the person, whose logo you will find on all the bottles of wine from this winery) will take you through the process of wine-making and the significance of the cellars when you opt for a wine tour here. 

You will be surprised to the multiple barrels holding gallons of wines in them in different stages of maturation. You will get to know the process of ageing and why certain varieties of grapes are fermented in a different way than the other grapes.
