This is the home of Sherry, produced from a small region around the town of Jérez, Andalucía. Sherry is made principally from the Palomino and Pedro Ximénez (PX) grapes, with a splash of Moscatel. The grapes are harvested and fermented in the normal way, but the wines are then left in contact with air for a prolonged period of time. Some will simply oxidise, whereas some develop a coating of flor, a thick layer of yeast, on the surface. This yeast imparts a distinctive flavour. The wines then pass through a solera system, a tier of barrels containing wine of differing ages, oldest at the bottom and youngest at the top. The wine in the lowest barrel is drawn off and bottled, and each barrel is topped up with wine from the one above. This maintains a steady stream of wine of similar character year after year, and explains why sherry is almost never vintage dated. Sherries come in a number of styles. These can broadly be divided into dry, medium or sweet. You can also find excelent wines in the province of Cordoba, Montilla-Moriles.
Types of Fortified Wine
|
Generosos:
These are quality wines made during total or partial ageing under the veil of flor – the biological process undergone through the spontaneous appearance of a veil of yeasts on the surface of the wine typical to the Jerez area, which contributes a series of specific analytical and organoleptic properties to the wines. The alcohol content of these wines is no lower than 15º. Manzanilla: This wine is a pale, straw colour, with a tangy aroma, dry and light in the mouth, with an alcohol content of 15º. Its unique characteristics are the result of a very particular ageing process under the veil of yeasts in the microclimate of the cellars located in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Traditionally and according to the crianza and ageing process, these wines are known as Manzanilla Fina, Manzanilla Pasada and Manzanilla Olorosa. Fino: Straw-coloured or golden, finos have a spicy, delicate aroma reminiscent of almonds, and are dry and light in the mouth. Their special properties are the result of the exclusive ageing process under the veil of flor. They have an acquired alcohol content of 15º. Fino should also be served cold. Amontillado: The ageing process used in these wines includes an initial phase under the veil of flor – similar in procedure and duration to that undergone by finos - followed by a phase of oxidative ageing. The result is an amber-coloured wine with aromas of hazelnut, mildly tangy, soft and full in the mouth, with an alcohol content of between 16º and 22º. |
Oloroso: A dry wine, from amber to mahogany in colour, with a strong aroma reminiscent of walnuts, full-bodied, with an alcohol content of between 17º and 22º. Ageing begins under the veil of flor, then continues with a phase of oxidative ageing. Ideal as an aperitif, as well as with game and red meats.
Palo Cortado: A wine with organoleptic properties somewhere between amontillado – its aroma is similar – and oloroso – with a comparable palate, colour and ageing process. These wines have an alcohol content of between 17º and 22º.
Generosos Liqueur: These are made from Generoso wines. They must contain no less than 5 gr/l of sugars.
Medium: Amber or mahogany coloured wine, with an acquired alcohol content of no less than 15º and no more than 115 grammes per litre of sugars. In particular markets, traditional terms such as 'Golden', 'Abocado, 'Amoroso', 'Brown', 'Milk' or 'Rich' may be used.
Pale Cream: This wine is a pale yellow in colour, with a tangy, delicate aroma and alcohol content of no less than 15.5º. Its sugar content may not exceed 115 grammes per litre.
Cream: A full-bodied wine, amber to mahogany in colour, with a light, spicy aroma, an acquired alcohol content of no less than 15.5º and between 115 and 140 grammes per litre of sugars. It is a product of the blending of an oloroso with the suitable proportion of sweet wine.
Naturally Sweet: These wines are made from very ripe or sun-dried grapes that undergo partial alcoholic fermentation, which is halted through the addition of vinic alcohol.
Pedro Ximénez: Made from a variety of grape of the same name. Dark mahogany in colour with sweet aromas of raisins from the high natural sugar content, it is a rich dessert wine.
