Sandeman's Porto Tawny 20 Years belongs to the series of fortified wines with an indication of ageing and comes from the Portuguese Douro region. This Porto is made from selections of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cão grapes capable of ageing in wooden barrels to acquire greater concentration of fruit and flavour. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with maceration of the skins. The addition of alcohol makes it possible to obtain fortified wine that can be aged in the centuries-old Sandeman cellars in oak barrels.The wines remain in the Douro until the following Spring, when they are taken to V.N.Gaia and enter Sandeman´s centuries-old lodges for ageing in oak wood casks, as required by Porto Wine traditional ageing system.The final blend results from a strict selection of wines aged between 15 and 40 years, masterfully combined so as to maintain Sandeman Porto Tawny´s 20 Years Old unique identity, style and consistency.
With a colour that varies from ruby red to amber, it has an olfactory profile of yellow-fleshed fruits such as dried apricots, with honey, nuts and spices that finish a full and harmonious taste. Enveloping on the palate, it expresses the elegance of candied fruit with returns of cocoa and tobacco for a truly persistent sip.Maturity and fruit are harmoniously balanced, creating the perfect conclusion to a meal and the inspiration for good conversation.
Sandeman Porto Tawny 20 Years Old is ready for drinking and does not require decanting but benefits from aeration. Once open, it should be consumed within 2-3 months.
