Not only is the quality so consistently high, somehow it is also extraordinary value for money. So, tuck in, explore the range of styles and enjoy your sherry adventure! SUN, SOIL AND SOLERA 3 Factors that make sherry unique The distinct characteristics of this region - the sunshine (over 300 days per year), the chalky ‘albariza’ soil that holds onto the rainfall, and the ‘solera’ system - combine to make sherry a uniquely exciting style of fortified wine, ranging from the driest to the sweetest in the world. ANDALUSIA SANLÚCAR JEREZ Santa María 3 TOWNS All sherry comes from an area between the romantic cities of Seville and Cadiz in Andalusia in southern Spain. The growing region is within the triangle that is formed by the towns Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María. 4 3 GRAPES Just 3 different grapes, yet between them an abundance of styles PALOMINO PEDRO XIMÉNEZ (PX) By far the most planted at around The grapes are dried in the sun on 95% of the total. It is used in the ‘esparto’ straw mats, dehydrating area to make a light easy-drinking and concentrating the juice ahead table wine, but through various of the fermentation and ageing guises of evolution transformed process. Used as an addition for into something sublime after sweetening some styles, while undergoing the solera system 100% PX wines range in colour ageing and fortification process. from deep yellow to almost black and off-dry to extraordinarily MOSCATEL sweet and unctuous. Also sweetens, while on its own makes a unique, fresh grapey and sweet style. THE SOLERA SYSTEM This is the unique method of blending wines in oak barrels, which are stacked on top of one another in rows of three or four high in immense cathedral like bodegas. Wine for bottling is taken from the bottom row (solera, from suelo, the Spanish for floor), and the barrels topped up from the row above, which is in turn topped up from the row above that, with new wine added into the top row. Over many years this blending process along with even temperature and humidity produces a consistent style. A layer of natural yeast called ‘flor’ grows on the wines destined to become Finos and Amontillados. This protects the wines from oxygen and adds a unique, yeasty and fresh character. 5 SHERRY STYLES We showcase wonderful and award-winning examples of the most important sherry styles, from the driest Fino to the sweetest PX. You can compare styles by trying our sherry flights, or ‘work’ your way through the list. And of course, because in our opinion sherry is the best food-matching wine in the world, we have plenty of tapas to complement them.

  • Delgado Zuleta Palo Cortado Sherry
    Delgado Zuleta Palo Cortado Sherry Bodegas Delgado Zuleta Bodegas Delgado Zuleta was -- founded in 1744 (which is now the oldest sherry bodega in Sanlucar de Barrameda) by Don Francisco Gil Ledesma y Sotomayor. The bodega is still a small boutique bodega, located in the coastal village of Sanlucar de Barrameda, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River on the Atlantic coast. The bodega acquired several smaller bodegas over the years and consolidated its facilities in its present location in 1998. This geographic location within the village allows the bodega to take maximum advantage of the humidity, the trade winds from the Atlantic, and the village’s unique microclimate. Palo Cortado – Palo Cortado is an anomaly is the sherry making process. It starts as a Fino, but for whatever reason the sherry in the cask diviates whereby the Flor becomes influenced in a non Fino manner. The bodega may then kill the Flor by adding alcohol and let the cask continue to age but without the protective cover of the yeast. Palo Cortado sherries typically have the bouquet of an Amontillado with the flavor of a Dry Oloroso. Appellation: Jerez, Xeres, Sherry Grapes: Palomino Soil: Albariza – 85% limestone; balance sand and clay Aging: Approximately 18 years in the Solera system in 600-liters American white oak casks. Alcohol: 19.0% RS: less than 2 grams per liter. Description: Amber color, dried apricot and roasted chestnut aromas; orange peel, roasted hazelnut, coffee bean, and subtle spice flavors; full body, long finish. 375 ML Bottle Serving and Pairing: Serve slightly chilled, as an aperitif, during the meal, or as a dessert wine.
