A FORTIFIED GUIDE what is fortified wine?


The category "fortified wine" includes Sherry, Port, Muscat, Tokay and Vermouth t. All of these wines were originally named after their region, and as such possess unique flavor and structure.
In Australia the names of our fortified wines are changing. much in the same way as we can no longer call our sparkling wine "Champagne". As such, Sherry is now as Apera, Tokay as Topaque and Port removed from the name altogether. At Grant Burge Wines they make Tawny and Muscat wines, which are different in flavour and style but brilliantly suited to the grapes grown in the Barossa Valley.
