Until the mid-1960s, dessert and fortified styles were the most popular wines in Australia. These days table wines lead the charge, but those sweetly decadent wines are still highly sought after.
Made in regions across the country, Australia’s dessert and fortified wines vary in style but always impress.
Australian dessert and fortified wines range from elegant Riesling and Semillon dessert wines, to silky Topaque, spiced Tawny and luscious, toffee-tasting Muscat. They’re generally high in sugar and alcohol, making them sweet and sticky. Some of Australia’s most impressive fortified wines are aged in barrels for up to 100 years or more, giving them an intense richness that’s hard to forget.
