Sandeman Founders Reserve Ruby Porto is a sweet ruby Port from Portugal's Douro Valley, bottled at 20% alcohol. Sandeman was founded in 1790, and the Founders Reserve is named in honour of its founder.
It is a blend of Ports usually three to five years old, averaging about four, aged in oak casks in Sandeman's lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Expect a bright, intense ruby color and rich red fruit aromas with a touch of age. The palate balances the fruit and fire of young Port with some finesse, finishing sweet with fine tannins. It scored 93 points at the 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards.
A ruby Port like this is fruitier and fresher than a tawny, and an easy, affordable first Port.
Serve it at 14 to 16°C with no need to decant, alongside cheese or chocolate desserts, and finish the bottle within about four weeks of opening.
