This document provides an introduction to sherry, a fortified wine from Jerez, Spain. It discusses the key aspects of sherry production, including the Palomino grape variety, Albariza soil, and the natural Flor yeast that gives sherry its unique characteristics. The production process uses the solera system of fractional blending to blend and mature sherry over multiple years. The main types of sherry - Fino, Oloroso, Amontillado - are differentiated by their levels of oxidation. Proper serving involves matching the variety to the correct glass and temperature. In conclusion, sherry has a long history and global popularity as Spain's greatest wine export.
