| Wines from Jerez, Xéres, or as they are known in English, Sherries, are in a class all their own. The special taste of a sherry is due to the unique methods that are used in the Jerez area. The main ingredient of some of the best sherries is the Palomino grape. A sherry is aged in loosely stoppered casks, where a special native yeast forms a growth (flor) which adds a special taste to the wine. Towards the end of the maturing process, the "flor" yeast, as it is called, is killed off by the addition of alcohol, and the Jerez is then moved to the "Solera".
Gaspar Florido is a small winery founded in 1880 in Sanlucar de Barrameda, a small fishing village on the Mediterranean coast. They produce high-quality wines using the “Criaderas” and “Soleras” winemaking process, in oak barrels. The finesse and elegance of the wines has been rewarded several times. Gaspar Florido knows how to combine tradition with a modern approach.
