Sandeman Tawny Port 20 Year

It all started in 1790, when the 25 year old son of a Scottish prosperous cabinetmaker asked for a $300 loan from his father to set up as a wine merchant in London. This ambitious young man was George Sandeman, the founder of Sandeman, who ended up establishing one of the world’s leading Port and Sherry wine businesses.

From early on Sandeman specialized in these two great Iberian fortified wines and, following a usual practice in those days, began trading not from own offices but from Tom’s Coffee house, on Birchin Lane, London. Business was agreed on a “gentleman’s word” and George soon gained an impeccable reputation.

Specially selected Ports are chosen for aging in wooden casks, which concentrates their fruit and flavor. The color matures from deep ruby through to amber, producing a rare and delicious Tawny Port.

It has a rich, yet elegant combination of flavors. Dried apricots, honey, nuts, spices and vanilla that creates an endlessly complex wine that unfolds smoothly and develops fully in the mouth.
