Sherry

Born from centuries of maritime trade, Sherry evolved as wines fortified for long ocean voyages, their character deepening in cask under the Andalusian sun. The chalky albariza soils of Jerez and Sanlúcar lend a striking tension and minerality that define each style, from the briny lift of Manzanilla to the layered complexity of Amontillado. The region’s unique solera system weaves generations of wine together, allowing age and freshness to coexist in remarkable harmony. This tasting celebrates the enduring traditions of Andalucía’s bodegas and the producers who continue to shape the soul of modern Sherry.

South Africa

South Africa’s winemaking story stretches back to 1659, making it one of the oldest continuous wine cultures outside Europe. Early Dutch and French settlers established vineyards that still define the region’s viticultural identity today. The Western Cape’s dramatic landscapes—where ocean currents temper mountain slopes—have shaped a tradition that bridges the classical and the contemporary. This tasting reveals how South African wines capture both the lineage of Old World technique and the vitality of a New World spirit.
