Fortified Wines
Whether it's a nutty sherry to enjoy as an aperitif, a bottle of vintage Port to come back to throughout a weekend, or a special vintage of Madeira, these are fabulous wines that remain incredible value for money, in the face of rising duty rates and changing palates. If you are ever going to enjoy them, winter is the time.
Here, we have selected what we feel to be the very best available of Port, Sherry and Madeira, with some very special, limited offerings included. There are vintage offerings here too, for any birthdays coming up.
