So, what is the difference between barrel-aged and bottle -aged, fortified wines? and how exactly are these wines made?

However, applying unique winemaking techniques sets fortified wine apart, allowing for the creation of distinct flavour profiles synonymous with fortified wines.

Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified 2002 | Review
"Great colour. Still pretty youthful with plenty of bramble fruit, touch of conserve or liqueur among the array or florals. Sweet baking spices. Excellent concentration. Really long. Balanced. Fresh feeling with excellent structure. Based on its current state and the sense of balance, I think this would look even better 20 years from now. One of the best SK VP." – Roscoe, The Prince Wine Store, Melbourne.
