Sherry is a fortified wine from the Jerez region of Spain, made primarily from the Palomino grape. It undergoes a unique aging process called "solera," where younger wines are blended with older ones, resulting in a complex flavor profile. Sherry can be dry or sweet, with popular styles including Fino, Amontillado, and Pedro Ximénez. This wine is typically served chilled and is often enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with various foods. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for both casual and formal occasions, showcasing the rich winemaking tradition of southern Spain.
