Personalised Vintage Wine & Port Tongs

Effortlessly open delicate vintage ports with vertical port tongs. Simply heat the tongs, secure them around the bottle neck, and then cool with a damp cloth to achieve a smooth, clean break. This technique offers both a functional and dramatic solution for removing fragile corks, making it ideal for port and other still wines. Made to order.

Sandeman Vintage Character

The Vintage Character style, specifically, refers to a style of Port that is a blend of several years of vintage Port, designed to give the richness and intensity of a Vintage Port but at a more accessible price point. These wines are typically made with high-quality grapes from a variety of harvests, and they aim to showcase the depth and complexity that characterizes top-tier Ports, though with more approachability for early drinking.

Solaia Toscana Antinori 2014

Solaia is a testament to Antinori's precision and craftsmanship. This elegant Super Tuscan blend, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, shows refined structure and aromatic finesse. Notes of black cherry, red currant, cedar, and dried herbs lead into subtle layers of tobacco, graphite, and spice. The cooler growing season resulted in a wine with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a more restrained, classical profile. A beautifully balanced wine that pairs exquisitely with roasted lamb, wild mushroom dishes, or aged Parmigiano. Graceful now, with potential to evolve further in the cellar.
