History
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. Since Sogrape bought Sandeman in 2002, the major improvements and investment that has taken place in the vineyards and the wine making has seen the wines rise to the top of the tree in Port.

Tasting notes
Intense and complex with aromas of black fruits, spice, black pepper and cocoa with hints of balsamic, cedar and tobacco box. On the palate, this wine has a lively acidity and firm tannins, complemented by an incredibly well balanced and long finish.

Vinification details
Sandeman LBV was produced by the traditional Port method, with a long, intense maceration during fermentation to extract tannin, colour and flavour from the skins. This was done both by foot-treading in traditional granite lagars (shallow vats), and by pumping over. The wines remained in the Douro until the spring when they were transported to Vila Nova de Gaia to mature in large oak vats.
