## About <!--about-->
Wine spirit is the grape distillate used to fortify Port. Added to fermenting must it stops the fermentation, so the wine keeps part of its sugar and reaches about 20 % alcohol. The Portuguese ingredient statement of Porto Messias 10 Anos lists it second, as aguardente vínica, after the grapes.[^pv] Caves Messias describes the step as an alcoholic fermentation interrupted by the addition of brandy, after which the blend is aged in cask for about ten years.[^maker]
