Jerez and Sherry wine: the pride of Andalucia

Jerez de la Frontera, in the province of Cadiz in Andalucia, Spain, gives its name to one of the world's most distinctive wine styles: Sherry. The area's unique albariza soil, its coastal Atlantic-influenced climate and the traditional criaderas and soleras aging system combine to produce wines that cannot be replicated anywhere else.

The styles of Sherry

The Denomination of Origin recognizes up to ten styles, spanning bone-dry to lusciously sweet: Manzanilla, Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, Palo Cortado, Pale Cream, Medium, Cream, Moscatel and Pedro Ximenez. Fino and Manzanilla are pale, crisp and saline, aged under a veil of flor yeast; Amontillado and Oloroso are nuttier and more oxidative; and Pedro Ximenez is a dark, intensely sweet dessert wine. This range makes Sherry astonishingly versatile.

Serving and food pairing

Sherry is one of the most food-friendly wines in the world. Serve chilled Fino or Manzanilla with olives, almonds, jamon and fried fish; Amontillado with soups, mushrooms and hard cheeses; Oloroso with red meats and stews; and Pedro Ximenez poured over ice cream or with chocolate. Dry styles are best enjoyed fresh, while sweeter and oxidative styles keep beautifully once opened.
