SANDEMAN: A LEGACY IN PORT WINE
THE EMBLEMATIC BEGINNING
From its inception in 1790, Sandeman has been a name synonymous with superior quality and tradition in the world of Port wine. Founded by George Sandeman, a young Scotsman from Perth, the company began with a £300 investment in wines from Portugal and Spain. Over the centuries, Sandeman has evolved into one of the most recognized Port wine brands in the world, with its iconic 'Don' logo being a testament to its distinguished history and international appeal.
The 'Don', introduced in 1928, became the first trademark image ever used in the wine industry. Depicting a silhouette cloaked in a Portuguese student's cape and a Spanish caballero’s hat, the 'Don' symbolizes the brand's seamless amalgamation of the Iberian Peninsula's rich wine heritage. The mystery and allure of the 'Don' reflect the brand's innovative spirit and commitment to quality, making it a globally recognized symbol of the Sandeman brand.
THE SANDEMAN PORT WINE PORTFOLIO
Sandeman's portfolio of Port wines is as rich and varied as its history. The range includes White, Ruby, Tawny, and Vintage Ports, each offering a unique expression of the terroir of Portugal's Douro Valley.
Sandeman's White Ports are fresh, vibrant, and full of delicate fruity flavors. The Ruby Ports, on the other hand, are known for their robust, rich, and berry-laden profile. The Tawny Ports, aged in wooden casks, are complex and sophisticated, with flavors of dried fruits and hints of wood and spices.
The crown jewel in Sandeman's portfolio is its Vintage Ports. Produced only in the best years, these wines are known for their extraordinary depth, complexity, and aging potential. They truly reflect the character of the Douro Valley vineyards from which they originate.
