Sherry: The Great Spanish Wine Hiding in Plain Sight
Over the last nineteen years few restaurants in the UK, or even Spain, have done so much to document how misunderstood Sherry is. It is time, therefore, to move on & take a deeper dive in acknowledgement that our customers now know that Sherry describes one of the world's most versatile wine families from pale, bracingly dry Fino & Manzanilla to ultra sweet & complex Pedro Ximonez with all the styles in between.
We stole the wine from the Spanish, then decided we rather liked it.
In April 1587, Drake sailed into Cádiz harbour with an English fleet and launched a devastating surprise attack. Spanish ships were burned, captured or destroyed. Amongst the loot captured at Cádiz were around 2,900 pipes or casks of wine from the Jerez region, which were taken back to England and gleefully enjoyed!
