AN INTRODUCTION TO SHERRY

All sherry comes from Western Andalusia,

from within the triangle that is formed by

the towns Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlucar de

Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria.

This is the unique method of blending wines

in oak barrels, which are stacked on top of

one another in rows of three or four high.

Wine for bottling is taken from the bottom

row (solera), and the barrel is topped up

from the row above. Over many years

this blending process along with even

temperature and himidity produces a

consistent style.

Santa Maria

THE SHERRY TRIANGLE THE GRAPES

PalominoIs by far the most planted, creating a light

tasting table wine but transformed into

something sublime after undergoing the

solera system aging process.

Pedro Ximénez (PX)Used for sweetening some styles, while

100% PX wines are usually extraordinarily

sweet.

MoscatelAlso sweetens, while in its own makes a

unique, fresh grapey and sweet style.
