Jerez in Spain's Andalucía produces Sherry, one of the world's most singular fortified-wine traditions. White Palomino grapes from chalky albariza soils are fortified and aged through the solera system — a fractional blending of vintages across stacked barrels — yielding styles from pale, bone-dry Fino and Manzanilla (aged under a layer of flor yeast) to oxidatively aged Oloroso and Amontillado, and the lusciously sweet Pedro Ximénez. The wines are gastronomic, deeply complex and extraordinary value relative to their ageing. Lustau, Equipo Navazos and Valdespino have led the modern Sherry renaissance.
