Product Notes

A grand example of aging gracefully, the Sandeman 50 Year Old Tawny Port is a wonder to behold.

This Portuguese wine has a captivating golden-amber hue, eloquently reflecting half a century of maturation. On the palate, its extraordinary balance of flavours, from candied citrus to nutty undertones, is profoundly impressive. The finish is lingering, ensuring a truly memorable experience. A sophisticated choice, the Sandeman Tawny Port offers a cherished journey into the history of wine.

Tasting Notes

Beautiful tawny in colour. The 50-Year-Old Tawny is exceptionally pronounced and complex in aroma profile. Intense aromas of dried fruits, roasted walnuts, toffee and spice burst out of the glass. Velvety smooth on the palate, with a bright acidity keeping the decadent flavours on the straight and narrow and all culminating in a deliciously lingering finish.
