Difference between Jeripigo and Port and Sherry?
Jeripigo is a style rather than a particular grape variety,
although many jeripigo wines are made with muscat. The "wines" are
actually unfermented and the sweet grape must is fortified with
wine spirit. The result is a very sweet, fresh fruity drink with
alcohol backing. Sherry is fermented dry and manipulated thereafter
to make and style and colour that is required. Port is fortified
whilst there is still plenty of sugar left in the wine. The
fortification stops the fermentation and you have a sweet, fruity ,
alcoholic wine that can be made into whatever stlye is
required.
