Fortifieds are back! Sherry, vermouth, madeira, marsala, and port are all wines ripe for re-discovery. Often stereotyped as being for Christmas, cocktails, grandparents and fancy dinners, these are some of the most exciting wines right now, and ones that can be exceptionally adaptable and summery.
Vermouth is booming with a new generation discovering it and experimenting with spritzes. Even port can be a surprisingly versatile summer drink – white port and tonic is a refreshing twist, but even tawny ports can be brilliant when chilled. Sherry is back on the menu, and finos and manzanillas with their bright, zippy freshness are the perfect companions for the light bites of summer, while Pedro Ximenez can be a wicked treat on any occasion. Last, but far from least, we then have madeira with its incredible longevity, offering a rare chance to taste history.
These more informal walk-around tastings are a chance to sample a wide range of wines and talk more casually with the people behind them.
