A fortified wine is made by adding grape spirit to a wine which kills the yeast, stopping fermentation. The desired result is a wine which is durable, ageable and often sweet. “Fortified wines are made by adding grape spirit to a wine either during or after fermentation, depending on whether the desired result is for the wine to be dry or sweet. If a wine is fortified before fermentation is finished, the wine will be sweet, as there will still be sugar left in the wine itself, whereas a wine that is fortified after fermentation will be dry. The technique of fortification really came about during the Age of Exploration, when voyagers would strengthen their wines in order to withstand long ocean voyages (hence why many fortified wines today tend to be quite ageable). Wine drinkers – mostly the English – grew to love the style, so the process stuck. Whether dry or sweet, fortified wines have one thing in common: notably high alcohol.” –VinePair 6 SOME TYPES OF FORTIFIED WINE VIN DOUX MADEIRA PORT SHERRY NATUREL Regal Producers H.M.

The first settlers came to the island in 1425 and cleared much of the forested area by burning the vegetation, making the volcanic soil even more fertile. The earliest records of wine from this land date back to 1455 when navigator Alvise de Cadamosto praised the good wines of the island. Madeira is a difficult place to grow grapes. Nearly all the island’s vineyards are planted on steep step-like terraces called poios, carved from the red or grey basalt bedrock. Most vineyards are planted on low trellises to raise the canopy above the ground making the grapes less vulnerable to fungal diseases that thrive in this damp climate. In the late 1500s, Madeira wines were picked up by merchant ships traveling to Africa and India, when the wines were still unfortified. The wines tended to spoil, so in the seventeenth century, winemakers started adding brandy to the wine to stabilize and preserve it for shipments. Aged over long months on ships headed to the Americas, the wine became rich and delicious. It became very popular with the founding fathers of the United States and was said to be drank in celebration after the signing the Declaration of Independence. Today, Madeira is still made the same way it was 300 years ago, with some advancements in technology. Clear brandy (grape spirit) of 96% alcohol by volume is added to the wine before it has finished fermentation. This stops fermentation and leaves a fortified wine which will offer different flavors depending on which grapes were used to make it and how long it is aged. After the wine is fortified, it is heated to obtain its toffee and caramel characteristics through a process called estufagem. The more modern heating process developed in the 19th century for younger Madeira wines takes the fortified base wine into large tanks and heats the wine through a stainless-steel coil in the middle of a stainless steel tank or a tank jacket to an average of 113 degrees Fahrenheit, 130 degrees Fahrenheit maximum, for three to six months (90 days minimum). The wine’s age is counted from the point at which estufagem has been completed. The more extensive, traditional and gentler process used to make Madeira wines is called the canteiro process and allows the heating process to happen naturally. Oak casks of the fortified wines are placed in upper floors of the producers’ buildings where they rest under the heat of the island for many years, sometimes twenty or longer. After the heating process is complete, the wine rests for a year or more and continues to age. Overall, the wines can be aged from three to twenty years after the heating process before bottling. Vintage wines will be aged longer after bottling. Madeira is considered the most ageable of all wines. It can last for centuries and can remain drinkable for months after opening. Tinta Negra Mole is a red skinned grape and the most planted variety on the island today. The “noble varieties” include Sercial, Verdelho, Bual and Malvasia. Malvasia and Bual are traditionally fermented on their skins while Sercial and Verdelho musts are separated from the grape skins before fermentation. Madeiras have high natural acidity making them refreshing and well suited to pair with food. Serve Sercials and Verdelhos cool and Buals and Malmseys at room temperature. 9 Styles of Madeira: Sercial: The driest style of Madeira. These grapes are grown in the coolest vineyards on the north side of the island at the highest altitudes and make a wine with bright crisp acidity, lemony, herbaceous notes and minerality on the palate. They are tart and astringent when young. Verdelho: Medium-dry style.

  • Fortified Wine Production
    BEGINNER FORTIFIED WINE PRODUCTION Content contributed by Kimberly Bricker, Imperial Beverage Material contained in this document applies to multiple course levels. Reference your syllabus to determine specific areas of study. Wine was originally fortified, or strengthened, to better sustain itself during the journey to those importing it. The addition of brandy or neutral grape spirit would kill off the yeasts, which are constantly in the process of converting sugars to alcohol. Once the alcohol by volume reaches 16-18%, yeasts die. The remaining sugars are never converted into alcohol, and the natural sugars of the wine persist. Wines can be fortified at various stages in their fermentation, sweetened or colored with a variety of techniques. Different grape varietals can be used. Grapes can be dried. Wines can be boiled and reduced, cooked, aged in a solera, or aged in a boat that travels halfway across the world and back. They can be enjoyed immediately or aged for over 200 years. Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Malaga, Montilla-Moriles, and Vin Doux Naturels (VDN’s) are all Fortified Wines. Most people think of stuffy British old men drinking out of little glasses in a mahogany Sherry library with their pinkies out when they “Oh I must’ve been a dreamer think of Sherry- if they think of Sherry. And I must’ve been someone else While that image may have relegated Sherry, as an old-fashioned wine, to the And we should’ve been over back of the cool class, that is only part of Oh Sherry, our love the picture. Both Christopher Columbus Holds on, holds on…” and Ferdinand Magellan filled their ships ‘Oh Sherry’ by Steve Perry with Sherry when they set sail to discover the New World.

This focus is very important for analysis of statistical data. Indeed, industrial use of wine represents on average around 12% of total wine production. With the term industrial use of wine we consider a transformation of wine, such as distillation, modification of compounds, acetic fermentation, or integration in other products. The global balance sheet of production and consumption of wines shows every year a surplus, which is attributed to industrial use of wine. This study seeks, for the first time, to confirm this assumption and to estimate the volume of wine used to make the different industrial products derived from wine.

  • Preparation of an Edible Fruit Based Alcoholic Beverage and Fortification with Specific Household Nectar
    Swati Ray et al /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 13(6), 2021, 347-350 Preparation of an edible fruit based alcoholic beverage and fortification with specific household nectar Swati Ray1*, Suborna Goswami1, Tuhina Das1, Tuhin Rakshit1, Abhay Kumar Thakur1, and Sourav Das1 1Department of Food Technology, Haldia Institute of Technology, ICARE Complex, Hatiberia, Purba Medinipore, West Bengal. India. Pincode: 721657. * [email protected]. Abstract: Fruit based fermented alcoholic beverages are made from a variety of fruits as the base material, also sometimes referred to as fruit wine. In a broader sense, fruit wine can be made from virtually any plant matter that can be fermented. Most fruits have the potential to produce wine; however only few fruits other than grapes have the balanced quantities of sugar, acid, tannin, nutritive salts for yeast feeding and water to naturally produce a stable and drinkable wine. Aim: In our current study, the alcoholic beverage has been produced by using tamarind (Tamarindus indica) as substrate and fermentation was carried out by inoculating suitable yeast culture. Method: The Fermented beverage was tested for different parameters after which it was fortified using honey; to increase its nutritional qualities and palatability. The organoleptic acceptability of this fortified beverage was assessed by using a group of panelist on the basis of five point hedonic scale. Result: The experiment revealed that drink number 9 is the most acceptable one among the panelists. Conclusion: Further tests can be done for scale up and enhancing the characteristics of this beverage. Keywords: Alcoholic beverage, Fermentation, Fortification, Fruit wine, Honey, Nectar.

  • The Ideal Aperitif: Good Vermouth, Cool and Fragrant - the New York Times
    2/27/2020 The Ideal Aperitif: Good Vermouth, Cool and Fragrant - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2rwiRF6 THE POUR The Ideal Aperitif: Good Vermouth, Cool and Fragrant By Eric Asimov May 18, 2017 One summer evening a few years ago, I was standing in the Napa Valley kitchen of Steve Matthiasson, a farmer and winemaker, when he handed me a tumbler filled with amber liquid and a fat cube of ice. It was not what I was expecting from Mr. Matthiasson, who, with his wife, Jill Klein Matthiasson, makes a range of wonderfully pure and refreshing wines from both the expected grapes like cabernet sauvignon, merlot and chardonnay, and from Napa rarities like refosco and ribolla gialla. Instead, this drink was sweet yet brisk, fresh and floral, fruity and herbal, and, surprisingly, it was thoroughly refreshing. While the sweetness was undeniable, it was not at all off-putting, as I would have imagined in a pre-dinner beverage. It was a sweet vermouth, made by the Matthiassons, balanced not by acidity, as it would be in wines like sweet German rieslings or Vouvrays, but by a slight, gentle bitterness, which had none of the force of a powerfully head-clearing digestif like Fernet Branca. It was barely noticeable yet insistent, just a genial note reminding me I was hungry. The drink ($30, 375 milliliters) served as my introduction to real vermouth and sent me on a path of rethinking the French term aperitif. The meaning would seem to be fairly obvious: An aperitif is something to drink before a meal to stimulate the appetite.
