Fortified wine is a wine that is made by the addition of a neutral spirit (usually grape-derived, colourless spirit, neutral in flavour and odour) to a base wine – that is, fermented, partially fermented or unfermented grape juice - this process itself is called "fortification”. In other words, fortification can happen before, during or after fermentation.
Before or after a meal, a glass of fortified wine is always a special treat. As there is a great range of fortified wines out there, it is almost certain you will find at least one or a couple of them, absolutely matching your preferences, whether you are looking for an aperitif or a digestif, or just the enjoyment of this exciting and rather special wine styles.

A festive style Buffet will be included with this tasting served by Lucy and her team over in the warm and welcoming Cherry Tree Café on the night. These tickets are limited so make sure you purchase yours now.
