SANDEMAN

Sandeman Tawny Port

Trust your Taste

Fresh red fruit and dried-fruit notes meet vanilla in this lighter tawny Port. Sweet but elegant, it combines fruit with gentle wood-aged complexity. Try it lightly chilled with caramel desserts or blue cheese.

?

Lighter presence, gentle grip and rounded fruit favour Soft palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy lighter, rounded tawny with fruit and vanilla.

It may not suit you if you prefer dry wines or very powerful vintage Port.

How this wine feels

This is lighter in weight than many fortified wines, with a rounded middle and little grip. Fresh fruit brings lift while vanilla and dried fruit give a mellow finish.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
