All Sherry wines come from the Sherry Triangle, a protected region in the south of Spain embracing Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda e El Puerto de Santa María. Only vines with a lifespan of 30 years or more survive in such place, where temperatures routinely rise to 38°C (100°F). Vines grow in albariza ground, composed 80% of chalk, the best medium for grape-growing for Finos: the palest, lightest and driest of sherries.
Sandeman Sherry Medium Dry ages in its own Solera of small casks. The pale wines selected just after the harvest slowly evolve into colours of medium gold amber. They become richer and subtly complex. Later a small amount of sweet Sherry is blended in to give a wonderful medium dry character with just a touch of sweetness.
Tasting Notes
Mildly aromatic, with an amber colour of copper and gold, Sandeman Sherry Medium Dry is very harmonious to the taste. An agreeable touch of sweetness from the first moment gives way to a nutty flavours and a long clean finish.

Winemaking
Maturation
Sherry wines delicate character comes from how it is aged in a partially-filled barrel, under a layer of mysterious yeast. This yeast is known as “Flor” and forms spontaneously on surface of wine. Flor protects the wine from air, imparting aroma and flavour. Hence, Sherry Fino is the world’s driest wine because it contains zero sugars. Mysteriously, Flor only grows in Sherry Triangle region.
StorageShould be stored standing, avoid intense light and maintain a constant temperature of 10°C-20°C.
