In the world of fortified wines, Sherry has long occupied an almost untouchable position. Names such as Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez belong not only to sommelier examinations and serious wine lists, but increasingly to a growing generation of wine lovers seeking complexity beyond conventional table and Appellation wines that all too often have very little merit outside of the (perceived) lofty denomination name.
Yet beyond the immense shadow of Jerez de la Frontera (formerly Xeres) lies another region that has remained largely overlooked: Montilla-Moriles.
