Varietal

Sherry

Sherry is a fortified wine produced under strict Denomination of Origin (DO) regulations in the Jerez region of southern Spain. It must be made within the Sherry Triangle, which includes Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. The primary grape used is Palomino for dry styles, while Pedro Ximénez (PX) and Moscatel are used for sweeter sherries.

Sherry undergoes a unique aging process, often using the solera system, a fractional blending method that ensures consistency over time. It ranges from bone dry to intensely sweet, with styles like:

Fino & Manzanilla – Crisp, delicate, and aged under flor (a protective layer of yeast).
Amontillado – Aged under flor, then exposed to oxygen, developing a nutty, richer profile.
Oloroso – Fully oxidized, dark, and full-bodied with deep caramel and spice notes.
Pedro Ximénez (PX) – Lusciously sweet with flavors of raisins, figs, and molasses.

Sherry offers a wide range of flavors, from almonds and citrus in dry styles to caramelized dried fruits in sweet varieties. It is enjoyed as an aperitif, paired with food, or in cocktails, showcasing its remarkable depth and complexity.

Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
