Sandeman 20 Year Old Tawny Port - gift pack with two glasses

Sandeman 20 Year Old Tawny Port - gift pack with two glasses

Duoro, Portugal

Opulent yet beautifully poised, Sandeman’s 20-Year-Old Tawny captures the delicious meeting point between generous fruit and the complexity of long ageing in oak. Dried apricot and candied orange mingle with honey, roasted hazelnuts and soft caramel, while cinnamon, vanilla and delicate woody spice lend depth to the bouquet. Glowing amber in the glass, it has an inviting warmth and a layered perfume that deserves a little time to unfold.

The palate is silky and expansive, with dried-fruit sweetness balanced by a refreshing lift of acidity. Toasted nuts, mellow toffee and lingering spice build through a concentrated finish, delivering richness without losing elegance. Fully matured before bottling, it offers immediate pleasure without the need for further cellaring. Presented with two Sandeman glasses, this is a thoughtful gift for a Port enthusiast, a generous thank-you or a particularly appealing addition to the festive table.

For when: Two glasses, something sweet and the welcome luxury of an unhurried evening.

Pairs with: Serve with crème brûlée, tarte Tatin, walnut tart, baked peaches with honey, almond financiers or aged Comté.

This gift pack brings together a 75cl bottle of Sandeman’s 20-Year-Old Tawny and two branded glasses. The wine itself is a blend of carefully selected Ports aged between 15 and 40 years, combined to achieve the balance and maturity of the 20-year-old style. Younger components contribute freshness and fruit, while older reserves bring depth, concentration and the intricate flavours developed through extended cask ageing.

Sandeman began in 1790, when George Sandeman, a young Scot, established a wine business in London with a £300 loan from his father. Specialising in Port and Sherry, he built a reputation that would carry the family name around the world. The house’s historic lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia were acquired in 1811, while its unmistakable caped figure, the Don, has represented Sandeman since 1928.

At the heart of its Douro operations is Quinta do Seixo, overlooking the river near Pinhão in the Cima Corgo. Here, steep terraces and fractured schist soils create demanding conditions for vines, whose roots reach deep in search of moisture through the hot summers. Old vineyards contribute concentrated fruit, providing the flavour and structure needed for wines destined to spend decades in cask.

Winemaker Luís Sottomayor oversees a range that combines meticulous vineyard selection with considerable expertise in maturation and blending. Sandeman’s aged tawnies are a particular strength, drawing on extensive reserves to create wines with a recognisable balance of richness, freshness and aromatic detail. The 20-Year-Old offers a compelling introduction to that craftsmanship.

Made from traditional Douro varieties including Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional. Grapes are sourced from selected Cima Corgo vineyards, including Quinta do Seixo, with old-vine fruit contributing concentration. Harvesting is carried out by hand.

The grapes are destemmed and crushed before temperature-controlled fermentation with skin contact to extract colour, flavour and tannin. Fermentation is closely monitored, and grape spirit is added at the chosen moment to arrest the process, retaining natural sweetness while establishing the wine’s final balance.

The young wines remain in the Douro until the spring following harvest, before moving to Sandeman’s lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia for maturation in oak casks. Regular tasting and selection guide their development, with the final blend incorporating wines aged between 15 and 40 years. Ready to drink without decanting, it is best served slightly chilled at 12–16°C. Once opened, enjoy within two to three months.

Alcohol: 20%. Residual sugar: 115g/L. Total acidity: 5g/L. pH: 3.55. Recommended drinking window: ready to drink on release.
