Terms specific to these regions:
Vintage: sweet wine that’s aged in the bottle. This wine develops notes of black or red fruit and is made non-oxidatively.
Vin doux naturel: you will find this written on many bottles of Muscat, Banyuls, Maury and Rivesaltes and it means that the wine is fortified. Some neutral alcohol is added during fermentation to prevent some of the residual sugars turning into alcohol.
