What Makes Sherry So Special

Let's talk about Sherry – the wine that's been putting the "fort" in fortified since, well, forever!

Sherry started in the sunny vineyards of Andalusia, Spain, where they clearly knew how to have a grape time!

Sherry's not just one wine; it's a whole symphony of flavours. From bone-dry Fino to the sweet-as-a-dessert Pedro Ximénez, it's like a wine rainbow for your taste buds.

What makes sherry so special?

It's all in the fortification game. They add grape spirit, giving it that extra oomph that leaves other wines feeling a bit, well, underdressed.

Now, let's talk ageing

Sherry's got a thing for ageing gracefully, and they do it in style with the "solera" system. It's like a wine version of blending generations – kind of like getting advice from your great-great-grandma.

But here's the kicker...

Sherry's not just a wine; it's a history lesson in a glass. It's been mentioned in literature, sipped by royalty, and has witnessed more parties than a Champagne flute.

It's the wine that's been around the block and still knows how to party.
