It’s a gift to value. Sandeman is now the most awarded Port Wine brand In the world. The state-of-the-art Sandeman winery, built in 2007, is at the breathtakingly beautiful Quinta do Seixo, on the south bank of the Douro, just downstream from Pinhao. The winery is perched on a hill that is garlanded by terrace after terrace of vines, some more than 100 years old.
The high quality wines from the 2016 harvest were carefully selected and blended to create this Sandeman Porto Late Bottled Vintage 2016. Aged for around four years, this wine was bottled without filtration, maintaining the style of a single-harvest wine.
Tasting notes: ‘A deep ruby colour. Intense and complex aroma, with notes of black fruits like plum and blackcurrant, hints of shrub and spices, such as ginger and nutmeg, balsamic truffle and undergrowth notes, and a slight cocoa and chocolate note, the result of a good maturation. On the palate it has good volume, lively acidity, firm tannins, very present and of good quality, black fruits and some cocoa, with a very balanced finish.’ Award tasting note: ‘Blueberry and liquorice, polished.’
Case of six bottles in individual gift tubes. RRP £160 plus delivery. CCUK £107 including free UK mainland delivery and individual presentation gift tube.

Producer notes: ‘Upon arrival at the Quinta do Seixo winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation took place in granite lagares with vigorous foot treading to extract the ideal levels of colour, flavour and tannin from the grape skins. The ferment was closely monitored to determine the ideal moment to halt the fermentation by fortifying with grape spirit, leaving some of the grapes’ natural sugars. The wines remained in the Douro until the spring following the harvest when they were transported downstream to the historic Sandeman cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia for ageing in oak casks for around four years. The wines were regularly tasted and analysed during this time and the final blend was assembled from a selection of the best casks. The LBV is bottled unfiltered, in order to preserve its great intensity of flavour.’
