{"product_id":"sandeman-porto-old-tawny-10-years","title":"Sandeman Porto Old Tawny 10 Years","description":"\u003cp\u003eSandeman Porto Old Tawny 10 Years is a vibrant, premium aged Port that shows exactly why Sandeman remains one of the most trusted names in the Douro. It offers a finely balanced style, combining ripe fruit character with the depth and warmth that come from patient maturation in wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a polished tawny-amber colour with a bright rim, reflecting its years in oak. The nose is expressive and layered, with notes of dried fruits, figs, toasted nuts, caramel, and subtle spice, rounded out by hints of orange peel and fine wood.\n\nOn the palate, it is smooth, elegant, and well-balanced, with the sweetness of mature fruit lifted by a fresh backbone that keeps it lively rather than heavy. The oak aging adds complexity and texture, leading to a long, silky finish. While ready to enjoy now, it will hold its character well for some time once opened if stored properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade in the Douro Valley from traditional Port grapes including Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesca, and Touriga Nacional, this 10-year-old Tawny reflects the region’s steep schist terraces and warm climate. The wines are carefully selected and aged in oak casks for an extended period, allowing gradual oxidation and concentration to develop the signature tawny profile. Blending is used to achieve balance, consistency, and the house style Sandeman is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe slightly chilled, ideally around 12–14°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic depth. It pairs beautifully with nuts, dried fruit, crème brûlée, caramel desserts, and rich cheeses such as Stilton or aged Gouda. Decanting is not necessary, and the wine is best enjoyed after opening over the following days if resealed well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1790, Sandeman is one of the great historic Port houses and a benchmark producer in the Douro and Port wine world.
