In 1790 a young Scotsman named George Sandeman decided to start selling fortified wine from Portugal. |
| Here’s the breakdown of the big six: The Word pays tribute to George Sandeman’s belief that you must always stand by your word. The Spirit stands for the determination and self-confidence of the young founder who quickly became known amongst his peers as a man with a ‘great spirit’ of enterprise. The Journey recalls George’s perilous trips around the world to spread the gospel of Porto Wine. The Craft is a tribute to the many talented workers, winegrowers, winemakers, coopers and tasters who create the perfect Sandeman port. The Pioneer is an homage to Sandeman’s early use of a trademark for his brand. And finally The Hat & Cape refers to Sandeman’s famed man wearing said garments who adorns every label. So who’s up for a tasting? |
