What is Port Wine?

Port wine is created by adding a grape spirit, or brandy, to halt the fermentation process of the wine, which preserves some of the grape's natural sugar, resulting in a rich and sweet wine that is perfect for after-dinner enjoyment. Port wines in Australia are mainly influenced by their Portuguese counterparts and deliver a similar depth of flavour and sophistication.
