Sandeman Porto

Descrição

Sandeman’s Porto Founders Reserva is produced using the traditional Port wine method. Hand‑picked grapes are destemmed and crushed, then fermented with skin maceration to extract the finest components. The addition of grape brandy balances body and aroma, with the ideal timing set by the oenology team after rigorous control of fermentation temperatures and densities—factors that vary with grape variety, ripeness, and desired final sweetness. The wines remain in the Douro until they are transported to V.N. Gaia the following spring, where they enter Sandeman's cellars for aging in oak barrels according to the traditional Port wine system. Over the years the wines are carefully racked, tasted, and analysed, and the final blend is crafted to preserve the style and character of Sandeman’s Porto Founders Reserva. The selected wines are usually 3‑5 years old, yielding a mature and intense wine with an average age of 4 years. The final blend is filtered and chill‑stabilised before bottling. ECV Code: F‑15
