A Rich Tribute. Powerful, Deeply Flavoured Ruby Port. 🇵🇹
Sandeman Founder's Reserve is a premium Ruby Port created as a tribute to the founder of the Sandeman house. This Port is a masterful blend of rich wines selected for their intense fruit and classic elegance. It undergoes a shorter period of wood aging than a Tawny, preserving its deep ruby colour and the vibrant, youthful fruit character.
Tasting Notes:
- Colour: A deep, intense ruby red.
- Aroma: Powerful and complex, with dominant aromas of ripe red berries, plum, and raspberry jam, layered with subtle hints of spice and oak.
- Taste: Full-bodied and robust, delivering a concentrated core of juicy red and black fruits. The palate is rich and velvety, perfectly balanced by a firm structure and a long, warm, and distinctly elegant finish.
Perfect For:
This Port is ready to drink upon release and requires no decanting. It is traditionally served with strong, hard cheeses (like Cheddar or Gouda), rich dark chocolate desserts, or simply savoured on its own as a sophisticated digestif after a meal. Serve slightly chilled to enhance its fruit character.
