"Wine tasting is an art that requires time and dedication, but it is within everyone’s reach to gradually learn to appreciate the nuances that compose each wine or pisco and to enjoy it as it deserves..."
Drink responsibly.
Memory aid:
What is a fortified or "encabezado" wine? The technique used to fortify wine is called "encabezado," which involves adding alcohol during or before the fermentation process. The result is a wine with a higher alcohol content (15° to 22% ABV), a richer texture, and more robust flavors. These wines are sweeter due to the sugars that did not fully ferment, and they have greater stability. Once opened, a bottle of fortified wine can last for several months.
