Tasting Notes: A topaz-colored wine with greenish reflections, of extraordinary power with quite complex aromas, of nuts, rosemary and honey. A unctuous Muscat in the palate, but with good freshness, long aftertaste of great quality.
Characterised by notes of rich fruit jam/compote with a touch of spice, expect notes of prunes, plums, chocolate and spice.
Many are fortified, or are made from passito grapes
Fortified wines are wines which have alcohol added to them, usually in the form of a neutral grape spirit like brandy. This was originally done to extend the longevity of wines, for the purpose of long journeys such as a the sailing routes of the East India Company
These styles are often sweeter as the fortification arrests fermentation early.
