At sherry...

Whilst at the Wine & Spirits Fair the other week, I tried some delicious sherry.

I'm not talking about the sweet brown stuff, I'm talking about Manzanilla, Fino and Amontillado.

In his Saturday Mail column today, Matthew Jukes was raving about a Manzanilla that would be perfect chilled and accompanied by olives, nuts, salami and chorizo.

It was La Gitana, Bodegas Hidalgo, Sanlucar de Barrameda and is priced at £6.99 from Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Majestic.

He thinks it's "...one of the best wines on the planet."

I did post something on here about sherry ages ago, but just to re-cap:

Manzanilla (or Fino) is the lightest and driest of the sherries, with a delicate fresh yeasty flavour

Amontillado used to be a Fino but has spent longer in the solera (sherry ageing system) and has developed a darker colour and more robust aroma.

Cheers!
Jane
