Legislative developments are poised to remove the fortification requirement for some wines, giving producers a new flexibility to meet perceived demand for lower alcohol levels. And sherry is capitalising on its reputation as a food wine, riding the high of Spanish gastronomy globally.
From Manzanilla and Fino to PX and everything in between, this new report from Matthew Forster MW provides a snapshot of the current state of play in sherry country, a historic wine region in constant evolution. A new ‘Best in Class’ selection highlights the top-scoring wines in each category, a quick reference guide to the very best sherry has to offer in 2025.
With over 300 sherries, whites and reds scored during an intensive week of tasting on the ground, there are exceptional wines across the board. A remarkable four wines achieved 100 points, a first for a Spanish wine region reviewed in this series.
