WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Vintry's Blend of Oloroso begins with the harvest of Palomino grapes in Jerez. Following fermentation to create a dry base wine, the wine is fortified with grape spirit. It then undergoes a period of oxidative aging, a key characteristic of Oloroso sherry, which typically involves the Solera system. This process allows for gradual exposure to oxygen in oak barrels, developing the wine's complex profile over time.
