Special Report: A Close Look at Sherry

In this report, the International Wine Review takes a close look at Sherry. Our goal is to help readers become more familiar with Sherry, explore its many facets, and ultimately enjoy drinking it. We thus take an initial look at the Sherry Triangle, the unique area in Southern Spain where it is produced and provide a brief account of the fascinating history of Sherry. We then examine the viticulture and production processes of Sherry, especially the famous solera system and discuss the various styles of Sherry on the market. Finally we look at the Sherry market, the pairing of Sherry with food, and provide tasting notes and ratings for more than 75 Sherries tasted for this report.
