rancio wine
Explanation:
According to the New Shorter Oxford dictionary, rancios (if used in plural adding "wine" is not necessary) refers to a rancio wine and rancio (adj): of wine: having the distinctive bouquet, nutty flavour, or tawny colour characteritic of certain well-matured, fortified or dessert wines.

If you're looking for the translation of the type of wine it is, then I think that rancio is the term you need.

Wine called "vino rancio", rancio wine, is a wine with a special aroma and taste, and are mainly fortified wines that are aged in barril for a long time, and have a slow oxidation..
http://www.wineconexion.com/channel.php?lang=uk&ch=2

The whole world over, fortified wines are being produced in many regions and many styles. The Muscat Beaumes de Venise of Southern France is another superb classic, not to mention Muscat de Rivesaltes and Lunel . What makes them fortified is the addition of neutral brandy spirit to take the wine from low alcohol sweet grape juice to complex fortified rancio wine. Excepting the vintage ports, which are bottled soon after production, most of the fortified wine styles are left in oak barrels for many many years in solera systems.

rancio
[Fr. rahn-SYOH; Sp. RAHN-thyoh]
A style of wine made by purposefully oxidizing or maderizing it by placing small barrels of wine in the hot summer sun. This procedure gives the wine a tawny color and a rich, unique flavor. Rancio wines are usually either naturally very high in alcohol or fortified. The results are similar to madeira, tawny port, or marsala. Rancio wines are made throughout Spain, as well as in southern France. They're usually sipped as an apéritif. (1st ref)

However, new thinking is as alive and well here as elsewhere in the country, and some old classic wines from the area such as the Fondillon Vine de Licor, and Rancios are starting to re-emerge, as the light wine market shifts in favour of lighter, fresher, and lower-strength wines for the supermarkets of northern Europe: nearly all the major bodegas now sport at least some stainless steelery in their fermenting halls, and with normal renewals tending to switch (on a cost basis as well as on quality) to the new technology, However, there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle, and some older installations, when well-managed, are also capable of producing quality wines: in these parts, the winemaker is at least as important as the kit. (2nd ref)

From a wine-making point of view, Catalunya has leapt the middle ages to the twenty first century in a matter of thirty years. As recently as the 1960s, many Catalan vineyards were still growing old high-strength varieties and making "rancio" wines from them. The architects of the great leap forward have been the Torres family whose bodegas in Vilafranca del Penedes still have a museum-piece corner ofthe courtyard with netted pergola shading half-buried glass carboys with rancio wines quietly oxidising inside them, to remind visitors that this is how it all began.

There are a variety of styles including fortified wines and rancios. There are also cava do wines produced under the Castillo de Perelada label.

This is a definition of rancio used as an adj in wine tasting:

RANCIO
Word normally used to describe a flavor perception found in tawny brown, wood-aged and heated fortified wines such as some \"Madeira\". Refers to the peculiarly blowsy overly-ripe fruit aroma, analogous to overipe bananas, admired in Port-style fortified wines but considered a fault in dry table wines where the detectable presence of oxidized components is frowned on for the most part.

Apart from the reds and the whites, there is also a very particular wine made here called Vi Ranci, or \"rancid wine\" which is used as a dessert wine and in cooking. These are aged in barrels at a higher than normal temperature to allow for a natural oxidation process to take place. Another particular wine (although it doesn\'t follow a fermentation process) is Mistela, a sweet white wine also used as an accompaniment to desserts.

A special, added attraction for Americans who want to experience the truly wild Canada is the province of Quebec. Quebec is full of French people, and as history has shown us, French people always add a little je-ne-sais-quoi, a little spice, a little body odour, a little promiscuity, a little smelly cheese and rancid wine to the mix. And that\'s what you\'ll find in Quebec, along with being able to buy bottles of wine in regular grocery stores!
