Jerez

The full name of the DO area is "Jerez/Xérèz/Sherry y Manzanilla de Sanlúcar Barrameda" and it is located on the Atlantic coast in the south-west of the Spanish region of Andalusia, north-west of Gibraltar in the province of Cádiz. The towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlúcar de Barrameda lie at the centre of the "Golden Triangle". This is a double DO or two sub-areas, as well as two other DO designations:

Jerez-Xérès-Sherry eastern area): Designation for the classic sherry, which is the eastern DO area
Manzanilla de Sanlúcar Barrameda (western area): special climate, where the Manzanilla variety is produced
Brandy de Jerez: many sherry producers in both areas produce this spirit
Vinagre de Jerez: this is a sherry vinegar

The vineyards cover around 10,500 hectares of vines on the typically white soil, the colour of which comes from the predominant chalky marl Albariza (Latin alba = white). However, there are small areas with sandy or clayey soil. The climate is mild and Mediterranean, with little rainfall in summer and frost-free winters. Nevertheless, there is a high level of humidity coming from the sea. See also under Sherry.
