Fortified wines count among the world’s finest wines. Varying widely in style, fortified wines range from bone dry to sweet, from fragrant and aromatic to rich and complex, depending on the grape varieties and production methods used. Sherry and Port are perhaps the world’s most well-known and highly sought-after fortified wines. Given their importance we felt they merited dedicated treatment on our website, therefore for these styles please refer to the relevant section.
Other fortified wines in Corney & Barrow’s portfolio include the increasingly rare wines of Madeira, as well as enticingly grapey Muscat. The current vogue for lighter, fruitier wine styles has seen a decline in popularity of fortified wines in recent years. This isn’t all bad however! Prices of fortified wines have fallen in relative terms, giving you all the more reason to find a place for them on your dinner table or in your cellar.
