We are talking about FORTIFIED wines. &nbsp;Ready to get started? (walk off)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: DAY 20 \u2013 What is Fortified Wine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family of fortified wines is huge and fascinating. I brought a Sherry today, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are subscribed and enrolled, you might have one too. Feel free to pour yourself a splash and let it breath. &nbsp;Let me know in the comments what you brought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also have some honey, dried dates, &nbsp;and tobacco, three scent notes that definitely show up in Sherry, and a lot of other fortified wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also a perfect time to remind you subscribe to this channel. &nbsp;You can still enroll for free and get a copy of all our class notes, as well as a head\u2019s up on what\u2019s coming next on Day 21 (or what\u2019s happening on Day 21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Subscribe for more. Arrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>**I SEE A note \u201cour senses\u201d \u2013 no idea what it means.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21 Days of Wine may be rounding the finish line, but I have a lot left to share with you. And I\u2019m sure you have questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Ask me anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Fill up my comment section. You might inspire my next video!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we\u2019ve been talking about all the steps to a multisensory evaluation of wine, but as you know there are exceptions to every rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortified wines fall outside the standard tasting method because, as their name implies, they are fortified, which means something has been added to make them stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Like a fortress, fortified wines are built strong and built to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, that thing is distilled alcohol, most often, Brandy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Fortified wine = wine + distilled liquor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcohol is volatile, which means those aromatic molecules get an extra lift, which makes fortified wines not only stronger, but also intensely aromatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Fortified wines are intensely aromatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The added alcohol also gives them a longer shelf life, which means you can really take your time and enjoy them, so buy a nice bottle don\u2019t worry about finishing it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So What are some examples of Fortified Wines? And How are they made?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Examples of Fortified Wines include: List<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Port, Sherry, Marsala and Madeira, Banyuls, and Vermouth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of Fortified Wines include: Port, Sherry, Marsala and Madeira, Banyuls, and Vermouth,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They range in color, sweetness, and strength and are known for their complex bouquets with notes of honey, flowers, caramel, dried fruit, spices, sweet tobacco, leather, and burnt sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Notes of Fortified Wines include: (list) honey, caramel, dried fruit, spices, leather, sweet tobacco, burnt sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: How are FORTIFIED WINES MADE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could spend hours on the details of their production, and the grapes utilized for each one. &nbsp;But I\u2019ll do my best to sum it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially a distilled spirit is added during or after fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: When you add alcohol to the fermenting grapes it kills the yeast and stops fermentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you add alcohol to the fermenting grape must, it kills the yeast and stops fermentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;So going back to our science lesson, the sooner fermentation stops, the more sugar is left over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>** Graphic on fermentation and levels of sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the longer fermentation continues, complex flavors have a chance to develop. Like in this Sherry for existence. (TBD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the Sherry process varies like crazy and the flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So more importantly, I want to give you a general idea of what to expect in these wines and how to taste and talk about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this is a quintessential fortified wine. In the Sherry family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: History<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Production of fortified wines can be traced to the late 1600s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under English Imperial rule, wine traders in Southern Italy, Spain and Portugal devised ways to transport the sweet and aromatic wines grown along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Adding brandy, or other distilled liquor stopped the wines from going bad or re-fermenting on their long ship ride home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They found that adding brandy, or other distilled liquor stopped the wines from going bad or re-fermenting on their long boat ride home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the journey the wines also had a chance to oxidize in oak barrels as they made their way across the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination of oxidation, aroma (?) and the added brandy, which made the whole thing possible, became so popular, that fortified wine production exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, like any normal wine appellation, local laws were put into place to protect the style and traditional grape growing.&nbsp; Marsala, Port, Sherry, and Madeira all come in varying degrees of color, sweetness, and age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing they share is some degree of oxidized quality, as barrels are rarely filled to the top during the months or years of aging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does this translate to aroma?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN: Oxidation in Aroma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how long the wines are aged in wooden casks, they take on degrees of Dried fruit, over-ripe fruit, and a fleshy, nutty quality, leather and spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the pleasures of fortified wines is that in a way they offer the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spectrum of aromas is so complex and often quite sweet, but the wine itself can &nbsp;be extremely fresh, depending on when they added distilled liquor and &nbsp;how much sugar is left over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Sherry Fino and Manzanilla have fresher, citrusy notes because they are not aged as long in barrels, and they were fermented to nearly dry white wine status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas a Pedro Jimenez, which is made from super ripe grapes and aged for at least three years in oak barrels has mountains of beautiful ripe and dry fruit notes, but a clean tannic palate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>(Did I say this?)<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp;This is what makes fortified wines so wonderful with cheese.&nbsp; All those things that come on a cheese plate, like dried fruit and honey\/ They\u2019re in the wine!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TITLE\/SCREEN They are super aromatic and feel like satin on your palate, rich and smooth, like honey, but they finish clean and even a little tingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are super aromatic and feel like satin on your palate, rich and smooth, like honey, but they finish clean and even a little tingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try pairing a Sherry with cheese and let me know in the comments how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you next time, for our day 21, our last lesson: An introduction to food and wine pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers!
