Sandeman is a historic Port and Sherry house founded in 1790 in London by George Sandeman, the young son of a Scottish cabinetmaker who, with a £300 loan from his father, started a wine trading business specializing in Port and Sherry. For over two centuries the brand has been synonymous with these great fortified wines.

In 1805 Sandeman was among the first to brand its own casks with the initials GSC, and in 1811 it purchased the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the Douro River, where over 2,000 Port casks age today. By 1835 it was the largest exporter of Port. In Spain the house operates in Jerez de la Frontera, where in 1879 it acquired cellars and vineyards. In 1909 it received the Royal Warrant from George V and in 1990, the bicentenary year, the family reached the seventh generation with George Sandeman. Since 2002 the brand has been part of the Portuguese group Sogrape.

The symbol of the house is "The Don", the iconic cloaked and hatted figure created in 1928 by the painter George Massiot-Brown and so named since 1935, among the most recognizable images in the wine world.

The range includes Port such as Ruby Founder's Reserve, the Tawny 10, 20 and 50 Years Old, White 10 Years Old and Vintage, as well as Sherry Don Fino, Brandy de Jerez Capa Negra and Madeira Rainwater.

Over two centuries of history, an iconic image and a great patrimony of cellars make Sandeman a benchmark for Port and Sherry.
