Sandeman Porto Fine Tawny 750 ML

Introduction

Selected from the lighter Porto of each year, these wines are chosen for ageing in small oak casks to develop their style. Sandemans Original Fine Tawny has the fruit and style of great Porto – but with an added finesse. Pale in colour and light in body this Port is superb as chilled aperitif, yet satisfying when served at the end of a meal.The House of Sandeman was founded in London in 1790 by George Sandeman, a young Scotsman from Perth who borrowed 300 to invest in a wine trading business with products from Porto and Jerez. More than 230 years later, an average of 21 bottles of Sandeman are bought every minute in more than 75 countries. The Sandeman portfolio includes Ports, Sherries, and Madeira’s and has been recognized as the world’s most awarded portfolio of Aged Tawnies for the past six years by Decanter, IWC, and IWSC. As for the infamous Sandeman Don, a Scottish artist named George Massiot Brown approached Sandeman in 1928 to design a poster to advertise the brand. Incorporating the company’s Ports of Portugal and their Spanish Sherries, The Don is wearing a wide-brimmed Spanish hat like the Caballeros of Jerez and a Portuguese student’s cape. The Don became famous and was one of the very first design icons for wine.
