Made in a variety of styles, ranging from light, fresh expressions that aren\u2019t too far away from a white table wines, through to darker and richer styles that have been allowed to oxidise as they age. Very sweet dessert wines are also created using Pedro Xim\u00e9nez and Moscatel grapes.<\/p><p>After the wine used a base for sherry has finished fermentation, it is fortified with grape spirit to increase the final alcohol content. Wines intended for the drier, lighter styles of fino and manzanilla are fortified to an alcohol content of 15.5 percent by volume. Wines intended to be aged longer &#8211; creating the oloroso and amontillado styles &#8211; are fortified to reach an alcohol content of at least 17 percent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a97d193 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a97d193\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c8c3f3d\" data-id=\"c8c3f3d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25cdfe7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25cdfe7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As they age in a barrel, they develop a layer of \u2018flor\u2019 which is a yeast-like growth that helps protect the wine from oxygen, and subsequent oxidation. The wines with a higher alcohol level don\u2019t develop flor, and will deliberately oxidise slightly as they age, giving them a darker colour. The \u2018flor\u2019 is what gives the sherry the signature taste, contributing yeasty flavours to the finished wine. Depending on the wine, it may be aged completely under the layer of flor to produce a fino or manzanilla sherry. It has been found that the higher levels of fortification limits the growth of flor, and those wines will therefore undergo oxidation ending up as an amontillado or oloroso style of sherry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3400fb5\" data-id=\"3400fb5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4eb622 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4eb622\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An article I read online describes the process as this &#8211; \u201cDuring the fermentation phase of sherry production, the flor yeast works anaerobically, converting sugar into ethanol. When all the sugar has been consumed, the physiology of the yeast changes to where it begins an aerobic process of breaking down and converting the acids into other compounds such as acetaldehyde.
