A type of sweet wine made by blending partially fermented grape juice with aged wine or brandy, traditionally from Portugal or Spain.
From Portuguese 'gero pipa,' possibly meaning 'an old cask' or referring to aging in barrels. The exact etymology is disputed but suggests the drink's connection to aging processes.
Geropiga is a mysteriously delicious accident of winemaking—the process creates a wine that tastes like it's been aged for decades even though it's only been blended, fooling even expert wine tasters.
