Buy Fortified wines online

A fortified wine has extra alcohol added during or after the partial or complete fermentation of the natural grape sugars in the wine, which makes for a very decadent experience.

The Australian wine industry was built on the back of fortified wine production, which began in the 1820s. Fortified wines ruled the roost in Australia until the late 1970s, when the popularity of table wines started to take off. Key fortified wines include port styles, the two main ones being vintage and tawny; sherries either dry, medium, sweet and cream, usually made from white wine; Topaques and Muscats, usually old and rich; and speciality fortifieds, such as Madeira and Sauvignon Blanc.
