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.
