What it is
Sherry: Jerez's fortified miracle — wines aged under the veil of flor yeast in the solera system, from bone-dry fino to raisin-sweet Pedro Ximénez. Origins: Jerez de la Frontera has shipped wine since Phoenician times; the British made 'sack' famous, and the DO (1933) was Spain's first. Made from: Palomino (dry styles), Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel (sweet). How it's made: 1) Ferment dry. 2) Fortify — lightly for fino (flor lives), harder for oloroso. 3) Age in solera, blending young into old across tiers of barrels. Served: fino ice-cold with olives and seafood; oloroso with cheese; PX over ice cream. Flavor: fino — almond, salt, bone dry; PX — fig and molasses. Strength: 15-22%. Culture: the venencia (long-handled pourer) and the bodega cathedrals of Jerez are sherry's theatre. See also: Rioja, Sangría.
