Sherry
Sherry holds a special place in the history of wine as one of the oldest types still available today. At The Fine Wine Company we are dedicated to offering a range of sherries, all brought in from the specialist area in Andalucia where sherry is produced.
Our range represents the plethora of flavours and styles available from this tiny region from the lighter, dry Manzanilla to more intense, deep Pedro Ximenez with its sweeter tones lending it to use in desserts and as a digestif. There is an amazingly wide range of different sherry options available from such a small, distinct region of Spain yet we have worked tirelessly to ensure our range represents as many quality examples as possible.
