WINE DESCRIPTION

Sandeman Ruby Porto is a rich and full-bodied fortified wine produced by Sandeman, a renowned wine producer with a long history of producing high-quality wines. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Douro Valley, a region known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves fortifying the wine with brandy, which gives it a smooth and velvety texture. The result is a wine with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of ripe red fruit, and a complex flavor profile that includes notes of chocolate and spice. Sandeman Ruby Porto is a perfect accompaniment to rich desserts or strong cheeses, and its affordable price point makes it an excellent choice for everyday enjoyment.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Sandeman Ruby Porto is a delightful port with intense aromas of sweet red berries and cherries, followed by a soft, velvety palate with a pleasant hint of cocoa.The finish is long and smooth, with a pleasant aftertaste of dried fruits and a hint of spice. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with desserts.

ORIGINS

Winery: Sandeman

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
