Jerez-Xérès-Sherry opens an extraordinary range of dry, savoury and sweet wines, shaped as much by cellar ageing as by the vineyard.
Palomino.
Very dry, with almond, bread-dough and savoury notes shaped by flor ageing.
Palomino.
Dry and nutty, with hazelnut, dried citrus peel and a savoury finish.
Palomino.
Walnut, spice and rich savoury depth with a dry palate despite its darker colour.
Palomino.
Nutty and citrus-peel aromas with a rounded, complex, dry palate.
Palomino, Pedro Ximénez.
A sweet, rounded style combining oxidative-wine depth with raisined-fruit richness.
Naturally very sweet, with raisin, fig and molasses-like depth and a concentrated texture.
Muscat of Alexandria.
Naturally sweet, with flowers, citrus peel, raisins and a rich, fragrant palate.
Palomino is the key grape for dry Sherry. Fino develops under flor; Oloroso ages with oxygen, and Amontillado begins under flor before oxidative ageing. Palo Cortado combines aromatic delicacy with a fuller palate. Dry Oloroso can be dark without being sweet, while Cream is a sweetened style and Pedro Ximénez is naturally sweet. The historic Sherry Triangle is part of a wider authorised ageing zone. Manzanilla has its own protected origin and must age in Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
