The grape variety used is principally Palomino, though small amounts of Pedro Ximenez may also be included. Like Champagne and Port, Sherry is made in a variety of styles and at a variety of sweetness levels.
Sherry is produced from the juices of three grapes: Palomino, Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel. The relevant one for sweet wine here is Pedro Xeminez. These grapes are harvested and then sun-dried to concentrate and sweeten the juices.
Known as Palomino in Spain and South Africa where it is mainly used to produce fortified wines.
Sherry is made principally from the Palomino and Pedro Ximénez (PX) grapes, with a splash of Moscatel. The grapes are harvested and fermented in the normal way, but the wines are then left in contact with air for a prolonged period of time.
