Sherry is a versatile-fortified wine from the south of Spain, specifically from the Andalusia region. This special type of wine is characterized by a unique aging process and a wide range of flavors, varying from fresh and dry to deep and sweet.

The history of sherry

Sherry has a rich history that dates back to the Phoenicians, who established vineyards in Andalusia as early as 1100 BC. Later, the Romans and Moors introduced improvements in winemaking techniques. Today, sherry is globally recognized as a refined and versatile wine.

The origin: Jerez, the heart of sherry

All authentic sherry comes from the so-called 'Sherry Triangle', formed by the cities of Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. This unique area in Andalusia provides the perfect conditions for the production of this exceptional wine.

Which grapes are used for sherry?

Sherry is primarily made from three grape varieties: Palomino, Pedro Ximénez, and Moscatel. The Palomino grape serves as the foundation for most dry sherries, while Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel contribute to sweeter varieties.

The climate and terroir of the sherry region

The climate in the sherry region is Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters. The chalky Albariza soil retains water well, which is essential for the growth of the grapes and the unique flavor development of sherry.

How is sherry made? The unique solera system

Sherry is aged using the solera system, where younger and older wines are gradually blended. This process ensures consistent flavor and complexity. Depending on whether it is aged under flor (a layer of yeast) or through oxidative aging, different styles such as Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez are created.
