SHERRY GLOSSARY


Fino is considered a classic aperitif wine. Light, pale golden and dry, slight hints of almonds are typical.  

Amontillado is a darker, and more aromatic, amontillado can be dry or medium dry. It has a powerful nutty bouquet with a mild, dry and somewhat bitter taste.

Palo Cortado is a Palo Cortado brings together the finesse and delicacy of an Amontillado on the bouquet with the richness on the palate of an Oloroso. It’s amber-gold in color, dry with an immensely rich flavor of light chocolate and coffee.

Oloroso is a dark, full-bodied sherry. It has sumptuous nutty aromas and often a slight residual sweetness. It can be either dry or medium dry.

Alvear S.A. was established by Don Diego de Alvear in 1729, and since that time has remained under control of the Alvear family.  This is the oldest winery in the region and its ‘Fino en Rama’ is today one of the three most popular fino wines in Spain and the first single vintage fino ever made.
