Wine enthusiast acclaim
I’m not a fan of sherry, but Oloroso Sherry is very nice! The colour is rich, almost copper. The aroma is amazing: roasted nuts in caramel, figs, dates. Despite the high alcohol level (18%), it is easy to drink. Absolutely dry, but very soft wine. On the palate, there are walnuts, prunes, and a little salt. The aftertaste is long-lasting.

Region
Jerez

Jerez-Xérès-Sherry it is one of Spain's wine regions, a Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP). The word sherry is an anglicisation of Xérès (Jerez). In Europe, "Sherry" has protected designation of origin status, and under Spanish law, all wine labelled as "Sherry" must legally come from the Sherry Triangle, an area in the province of Cádiz between Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. In 1933 the Jerez denominación de origen was the first Spanish denominación to be officially recognised in this way, officially named D.O. Jerez-Xeres-Sherry and sharing the same governing council as D.O. Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
