Sherry

By Julian Jeffs

This classic book, now in its fourth completely revised edition, tells the whole fascinating history of sherry, stretching from Chaucer's wine of Lepe, through Shakespeare's sherris-sack, to the sherry of today. From the planting of the vines in the south of Andalusia, through the complex stages of fermentation, ageing in the soleras and blending, to the moment it is poured into the wine glass, the account of sherry production is complete.
