Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1790 by George Sandeman, this legendary house has shaped the story of Port for more than 230 years. Grapes are hand-selected from the rugged terraces of the Douro Valley and vinified using time-honoured methods before maturing in century-old oak casks. Each component wine — aged 9 to 12 years — is expertly blended to deliver balance, depth, and Sandeman’s signature elegance.

Special Features

Sandeman 10 Year Old Port epitomises the harmony between ripe fruit and oak-aged refinement. Maturation in small wooden barrels concentrates flavours of caramelised nuts and dried fruit, creating a silken texture and a luminous, amber hue. Best served slightly chilled, it is equally at home as a dessert wine or an evening indulgence.
