    Sherry is a category of over 50 fortified wines from the D.O. Jerez region in Spain, represented by the producers Bodegas Tradición and El Maestro Sierra. Sherry styles are divided according to the way they age - biologically under a protective layer of yeast (flor) for dry styles such as Fino, oxidatively without flor for darker styles such as Oloroso, and a combination of both approaches for Amontillado. The sweet Cream and Pedro Ximénez styles are created by adding, or by using, over-ripened grapes dried in the sun. The range also includes special long-aged editions, for example the 30-year-old Pedro Ximenez from Bodegas Tradición. The choice of sherry style is guided mainly by the occasion - dry with an aperitif, sweet with dessert.

    How to find your way around this category

    Sherry is divided into several styles according to the way it ages and its sweetness. Fino is the driest and lightest style, ageing biologically under a layer of yeast known as flor. Amontillado begins ageing biologically and then moves on to oxidative ageing, which gives it a darker colour and a nutty flavour. Oloroso ages purely oxidatively and is fuller and darker. Cream and Pedro Ximénez are sweet styles better suited to dessert.

    Chilled Fino or Amontillado work best as an aperitif, while the sweeter Cream and Pedro Ximénez suit a digestif or dessert.

    Sherry styles - how to choose

    Style Method of ageing Character Recommended pairing
    Fino Biological (under flor) The driest, light, almond flavour Aperitif, olives, seafood
    Amontillado Biological, then oxidative Nutty, amber colour Aged cheeses, mushrooms
    Oloroso Oxidative Full bodied, darker colour, drier despite the strength of flavour Game, hard cheeses
    Cream Oxidative, sweetened Sweet, velvety Aperitif and digestif alike
    Pedro Ximénez From over-ripened grapes dried in the sun Very sweet, notes of dried fruit Desserts, ice cream

    The range also includes long-aged editions such as Pedro Ximenez 30 years from Bodegas Tradición or Amontillado Anticuario from El Maestro Sierra, where the long ageing brings a markedly more complex flavour and the price reflects this.

    Storage and serving

    The dry styles (Fino, Amontillado) are served chilled, at around 7-10 °C, and it is advisable to use them soon after opening because of the delicate biological layer of flor. Thanks to their higher alcohol and sugar content, the fuller and sweeter styles (Oloroso, Cream, Pedro Ximénez) keep markedly longer after opening, easily several weeks in the fridge.

    Fino loses its character quickly after opening - unlike other fortified wines, it is best used within a few days.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is sherry and where does it come from?
    Sherry is a fortified wine from the D.O. Jerez region in the south of Spain, enriched with alcohol and aged in a specific way depending on the particular style.
    What is the difference between Fino and Oloroso?
    Fino ages biologically under a protective layer of yeast (flor), which makes it light and dry. Oloroso ages oxidatively without flor, which gives it a darker colour and a fuller, drier but more intense flavour.
    What is Pedro Ximénez?
    Pedro Ximénez is a very sweet style of sherry made from grapes dried in the sun, with pronounced notes of dried fruit and caramel. It is served with dessert, often poured directly over ice cream.
    How long does an opened bottle of sherry keep?
    Dry styles such as Fino are best used within a few days of opening, while sweeter and fuller styles such as Oloroso or Pedro Ximénez will keep for several weeks in the fridge.
    How is sherry served?
    Dry styles chilled as an aperitif, oxidative and sweet styles a little warmer, either as a digestif or with dessert.

    Also: longer ageing usually means a more complex flavour and a higher price.

    What we base this on

    On the traditional sherry ageing system in D.O. Jerez and information from the producers Bodegas Tradición and El Maestro Sierra.
    Also: we verify the specific ageing period on the individual products.

    Where the limits are

    Long-aged editions come in limited quantities and the price rises with the length of ageing.
    Also: you will find current availability in the product detail.

    What this category does not cover
