1999 Vau Vintage Port in Gift Box

Created as an early drinking Vintage Port with more complexity than an LBV but more fruit and softer structure than a classic vintage. On the nose pronounced aromas of ripe and juicy strawberries, raspberries and red cherries are coupled with hints of dried fruits and a subtle earthiness. On the palate, structured tannins give backbone to the wine and a refreshing acidity carries the complex flavours onto the lingering finish.

There are few more iconic images in the world of wine than the ‘Don’, the logo created for the Sandeman family in 1928 by George Massiot Brown. The cape was modelled on the attire worn by university students in Porto, while the wide-brimmed hat was a nod to the family’s presence in Jerez. Today, the wines are good enough to be every bit as famous as the image of the Don. Since Sogrape bought Sandeman in 2002, the major improvements and investment that have taken place in the vineyards and the winemaking has seen the wines rise to the top of the tree in Port.
