Sherry wine

Sherry is a fortified wine from Spain's Jerez region, made from white grapes. It's aged in a unique system called solera, which blends different vintages for consistent quality. Sherry comes in various styles, from dry varieties like Fino and Manzanilla, to richer, sweeter types like Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez. It's enjoyed on its own or paired with foods such as olives, cheeses, and seafood. Its distinct flavors result from aging processes, biological fermentation, and the influence of the surrounding flor yeast in certain types, contributing to its complex, nutty, and sometimes fruity character.
