Sandeman Apitiv Reserve White Porto (750 ml)
Description
Overview: It all started in 1790 when the 25-year-old son of a Scottish prosperous cabinetmaker asked for a 300£ loan from his father to set up as a wine merchant in London. This ambitious young man was George Sandeman, the founder of Sandeman, who ended up establishing one of the world’s leading Port and Sherry wine businesses.
From early on Sandeman specialised in these two great Iberian fortified wines and, following a usual practice in those days, began trading not from own offices but from Tom’s Coffee house, on Birchin Lane, London. Business was agreed on a ‘gentleman’s word’ and George soon gained an impeccable reputation, characteristic of The House of Sandeman to today.
The Sandeman brand has expanded its portfolio with the addition of a White Reserve. Sandeman Apitiv Reserve is an extraordinary Port Wine; an intense reserve, with a complexity and fragrance that only the great white Ports of age and quality can aspire to.
Tasting Notes: Sandeman Apitiv Reserve has a golden yellow colour. Its aroma has good intensity, with hints of candied orange zest, floral notes, dry fruits and touches of balsamic resin. The wine's aging in wood adds complexity, harmony and richness. On the palate, it has good balance and well-integrated acidity, with additional notes of dry fruit and an elegant, harmonious and persistent finish.
Pairing: Smoked salmon, shellfish, and sushi.
