What is Fortified Wine?

Fortified wines are traditional wines strengthened with a distilled spirit - usually grape brandy - either during or after fermentation. This technique preserves fresh fruit character or builds deep, nutty complexity, depending on the style. The result is a layered, long-lasting wine with elevated aroma, flavor, and stability.

Key Styles & Flavor Profiles

  • Port (Portugal): Rich and sweet, with dark berry, chocolate, and spice notes. Ruby styles are fruit-forward; Tawny shows caramel, walnut, and toffee; Vintage is powerful and age-worthy.
  • Sherry (Spain): Ranges from bone-dry to sweet. Fino/Manzanilla are light and saline; Amontillado adds hazelnut and spice; Oloroso is darker and fuller; PX (Pedro Ximénez) is lusciously sweet with fig and molasses.
  • Madeira (Portugal): Naturally resilient, with vibrant acidity and flavors of citrus peel, roasted nuts, coffee, and caramel. Styles run from dry Sercial to sweet Malmsey.
  • Marsala (Italy): Amber and savory-sweet, offering notes of apricot, almond, and vanilla. Available in dry and sweet versions for sipping or cooking.
  • Vermouth (Various): Fortified and aromatized with botanicals. Dry versions are crisp and herbal; sweet (rosso) styles show baking spice and cola notes - excellent in classic cocktails.

How Fortified Wines Are Made

Producers add a neutral grape spirit to base wine to either halt fermentation (retaining natural grape sweetness) or stabilize a dry wine. Aging can occur in cask, bottle, or unique systems like Sherry’s solera, shaping color, texture, and complexity over time.

Rich, bold, and packed with heritage, our collection of fortified wines brings you some of the world’s most characterful bottles, carefully selected for their depth, complexity, and lasting appeal. At Givino, we stock only the fortified wine we’ve tried, loved, and would gladly pour ourselves. Whether you’re in the mood for a warming glass of sherry, a nutty Madeira, or something more unusual, there’s a fortified wine here to suit every occasion and palate.

From Spain to Italy, Discover the World of Fortified Wine

Our shelves showcase a wide variety of global classics, including fortified wine from Spain - think rich, velvety sherries from Andalucía, crafted in historic soleras and steeped in tradition. We’re particularly fond of Spanish fortified wine styles that range from bone-dry Fino to luscious Pedro Ximénez. You’ll also find expertly aged fortified white wine and exciting options from Italy, such as complex Marsalas and lesser-known Italian fortified wine gems that deserve a spot in every enthusiast’s collection.

A Versatile and Timeless Style of Wine

Fortified wines offer more than just a bold sip; they’re incredibly versatile. Serve slightly chilled as an aperitif, pair with cheese and dessert, or simply enjoy a quiet glass after dinner. The beauty of fortified wine lies in its balance of strength and nuance, making it a favourite for those who enjoy wines that linger long on the palate. Some serving ideas include:

  • The nutty profile of Amontillado sherry with almonds
  • The sweetness of vintage port paired with blue cheese
  • A chilled glass of Fino before dinner
