Vinification of the Sandeman Port Old Tawny 40 years by Sogrape Vinhos

The Sandeman Port Old Tawny 40 years is made from selected grapes of traditional Portuguese varieties. The grapes grow in the Douro region, where the ideal climate and unique terroir conditions provide the best prerequisites for high-quality harvests. The grapes are manually harvested to select the finest fruits for further processing. In the vinification process, the must is gently pressed, and the fermentation process begins. At this point, brandy is added to stop the fermentation process and preserve the natural sweetness of the grapes. After fermentation, the port wine ages for at least 40 years in oak barrels, allowing the flavors to develop harmoniously and giving the wine its characteristic tawny color. Through the long aging process, the wine oxidizes gently, imparting its soft tannins and the complexity it offers today.
