A fortified wine from Jerez, in southern Spain. This wine is comprised mostly of the Palomino grape, however some other grapes (such as Moscatel and Pedro Ximenez) make their way into the blends. Sherry is often made from the Solera system, a method of fractional blending very rarely encountered in the world of wine. As with all fortified wine, high-proof grape spirit has been added, in this case after fermentation is almost done, with the resulting wines having alcohol levels between 15% and 22%, depending on style.
