Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1790, Sandeman is a name synonymous with the highest traditions of Port. This exquisite 30-year blend represents the culmination of generations of expertise, using wines aged between 25 and 40 years. Each component is patiently matured in oak casks in the historic lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia, allowing time and air to concentrate flavours and create extraordinary complexity and finesse.

Special Features

Only the finest casks are selected for this extraordinary blend. The slow oxidative ageing transforms ruby hues into amber gold, developing flavours of spice, dried fruit, and toffee richness. The result is a wine of rare balance—powerful yet delicate, vibrant yet mellow—crafted for those who seek true luxury in a glass.
