Sherry
Sherry is a fortified wine made around the ‘Sherry triangle’ in Cádiz, southwest Spain, which joins up the cities of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
The region is renowned for its glistening albariza soils, solera-system ageing and strong winds.
The Jerez DO, awarded in 1933, made it the first Denominación de Origen to be recognised in Spain.
