Sandeman Description
Sandeman Porto Tawny 10 Years Old is produced by the traditional Porto Wine method. The
hand-picked grapes undergo stalk-removal and crushing before fermentation, under controlled
temperature, with skin maceration so as to extract the best components. The addition of wine
alcohol at the ideal moment sets the balance between the wine´s body and bouquet. This moment
is chosen by the winemaker following strict control of fermentation temperatures and densities,
the later depending on the vine variety, maturation stage and the final sweetness required.
MATURATION
After the harvest, 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. Along the years, the wines selected for this Sandeman Porto
Tawny 10 Years Old are carefully tasted and analysed, racked from lees and all corrections
deemed necessary by the tasters are carried out. The final blend results from a selection of wines
between 9 and 12 years of age, composed to maintain the consistency and character of this
Sandeman Porto Tawny 10 Years Old.
