The Sandeman Ruby Port, established in 1790, is a fortified wine that reflects the tradition of the Douro Valley region in Portugal. This wine is meticulously produced from hand-selected grapes, including varieties like Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, and Touriga Franca, suited to the Douro climate. The grapes are processed using traditional methods, allowing for the extraction of intense colors and flavors. Upon achieving the ideal balance of sweetness, fermentation is halted by adding grape brandy. The wine then ages in large oak vats, softening its tannins and preserving its freshness. In tasting, this port displays a ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, plums, and an elegant balsamic background. On the palate, it is round and harmonious, with a lasting flavor. Ideal paired with blue cheeses or chocolate desserts, it is recommended to serve slightly chilled.
