Curious about Oloroso sherry? Sherry is a type of wine that comes from Spain. It’s made from Palomino grapes that are fermented over different time periods, and it’s often mixed (fortified) with grape spirits, producing a more intense flavor and higher alcohol content than traditional wine. Oloroso sherry is slightly higher in alcohol content and is a darker color, due in part to its longer aging process. Sherry wine is often enjoyed as an aperitif or dessert wine.
