HOW IS PORT MADE. 

Essentially the grapes (or grape concentrate) is fermented until the wine reaches the desired sugar level, at which point fermentation is stopped and spirit (brandy)  added. By following this age old tradition of adding brandy in the final stages of fermentation (to halt fermentation early) you can make your own Tawny rich in residual grape flavour and more intense in colour. The added brandy will raise the alcohol level to between 15-20% alcohol by volume, which aids in maturing and preserving the tawny as a fortified wine.
