D5 Fortified Wine Calibration Pack + Instructional Video
12 Benchmark Wines. 5 Classic Styles. One Clear Goal: Master Fortified.
Fortified wines are some of the most technically complex and stylistically diverse in the wine world and among the most challenging for Diploma students to taste and analyse.
This D5 Calibration Pack includes 12 x 50ml curated samples covering the full spectrum of fortified wine categories:
Madeira (multiple styles and maturations)
VDNs (Muscat & Grenache-based examples)
Port (including style and quality level comparison)
Sherry (from dry oxidative to sweet and blended)
Rutherglen Muscat (young and aged expressions)
Led by Jim Gore and Kate Wardell DipWSET, this on-demand tasting video guides you through the stylistic and structural benchmarks examiners expect, using real-life Diploma-style language, flight structure, and analysis.
