Tasting notes
A vibrant red tawny colour of great intensity, typical of this style of youthful, yet aged wine. With its elegant and complex aromas of ripe fruit, jam and nuts with hints of vanilla and raisins, it is a most flavoursome wine. Full-bodied and appealing with a persistent finish. Serve with selected cheeses and desserts.
Production method
Fermentation in stainless steel vats and in presses under controlled temperature, arrested through the addition of grape alcohol. Matured in small oak casks (600 L) of European oak with many years of use, thus slowly developing rich tawny hue.
Producer notes
The iconic Sandeman Don, created in 1928, is one of the first trademark images ever created. The Don has received a facelift in recent years, and the full range of Sandeman Ports has been updated and stylishly re-packaged. Sandeman recently opened its new production and visitor centre in Quinta do Seixo, in the Upper Douro. This houses the latest technology and production processes, including robotic lagares that closely replicate the traditional method of treading Port grapes by foot. The range includes Apitiv White Port, and the stylish Vau Vintage Port - released ready for immediate consumption.
