Description
Narrow alley of a winery in Jerez de la Frontera in Spain with grape vines providing shade.
It's hot in the summer in Jerez de la Frontera. It's too hot to make a good red or white wine but they are famous for making sherry.
“Sherry” doesn’t refer to a particular grape. Sherry is a place. In Spanish, it’s Jerez—a triangle of wine-making land between three towns in Andalusia. And the largest and most important of those towns is Jerez de la Frontera; the ancestral home of sherry wines!
Ask most winemakers, and they’ll say their wine is made in the vineyard. But the magic of sherry takes place in the winery! These are the great resting places of the vinos de jerez, where the wine ages in barrels for years before release.
The wineries smell of old barrels, old wine, and the earth beneath your feet. (The floor is covered in soil and sand to keep the humidity high). Here, the sherries are mixed and raised under the watchful gaze of the cellarmaster, in a complicated system called “fractional blending”; of blending old wine with new, year after year.
Thank you for visiting my art galeries. If you like visiting other countries but you can't do that in person or want to reminisce, feel free to look at my many galeries and enjoy for instance landscapes and landmarks from all over the world.
