Description
Time in oak barrels is what shapes Sandeman Fine Tawny, a Portuguese fortified wine bottled at 19.5% ABV in a 750 ml format. That barrel aging is the defining mark of the tawny category, giving the wine its amber cast and the flavors that follow: dried fruit and caramel, walnut, and a touch of vanilla from the wood.
The finish is smooth rather than sharp, and the style is flexible enough to pour before a meal, alongside dessert, or on its own after dinner. It is a straightforward example of the classic tawny port profile.
