Is Medium Sherry Dry?

Tasting Notes
Ranging from amber to dark chestnut in colour, medium sherry has a liquorous amontillado-like bouquet with the smoothly sweet notes of pastries, quince jelly or baked apple. It starts slightly dry in the mouth, gradually becoming sweeter to finish with a smooth vaporous aftertaste.

Which is the driest Sherry?

Fino ('fine' in Spanish) is the driest and palest of the traditional varieties of Sherry. The wine is aged in barrels under a cap of flor yeast to prevent contact with the air. Manzanilla is an especially light variety of Fino Sherry made around the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

What type of Sherry is dry?

Dry Sherry Wine

Fino wine is a dry Sherry which owes its characteristics to being aged entirely biologically; that is to say the wine has aged in the interior of the butts always protected by a film of yeast, the “veil of flor” which has prevented it from oxidising.
