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.
