If we are being romantic, sherry is the meeting point of geography, history, philosophy and gastronomy. These are wines which could not be made anywhere else in the world, thanks to the curious mix of soils, vines, soleras, and yeasts which combine to create wines as diverse as a racy fino and manzanilla, savoury amontillado and oloroso and luscious cream and pedro ximenez.

The quality of modern sherry has never been better, and we're seeing increasingly older and more concentrated expressions, as well as renewed vitality in more youthful releases. This is a chance to taste the journey of flavour under one roof, from the soils of Andalusia and the bodegas of Jerez to the low hills and wild glens of Scotland and beyond.
