The white from the white ground.’ What calls the ‘champagne of Spain,’ sherry (an Anglicization of ‘Xerez’) hails from the -ridden Southern region of Andalucía . Arguably Spain’s most important and distinctive wine, its long history is marked by Phoenician, Roman, Moorish and British influences, to name a few .
