Winemaker Notes
This vintage is a glass of sunshine with notes of pineapple rind, sunscreen, sea foam and subtle hints of marzipan on the pallet. There is richness in fruit with an Albariza edge pungency that enhances the region’s umami fame. Crunchy concentrations of aloe and hints of macadamia, this young sipper is all the flavor of Sanlúcar with white wine weight. The perfect seaside sipper.
Sherry is a fortified wine that comes in many styles from dry to sweet. True Sherry can only be made in Andalucía, Spain where the soil and unique seasonal changes give a particular character to its wines. The process of production—not really the grape—determine the type, though certain types are reserved for certain grapes. Palomino is responsible for most dry styles; Pedro Ximénez and Muscat of Alexandria are used for blending or for sweet styles.
Known more formally as Jerez de la Frontera, Jerez is a city in Andalucía in southwest Spain and the center of the Jerez region and sherry production. Sherry is a mere English corruption of the term Jerez, while in French, Jerez is written, Xérès. Manzanilla is the freshest style of sherry, naturally derived from the seaside town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
