This is the hottest and sunniest part of Spain and wine has been exported from here since Phoenician times. Most of the quality wines from this region are fortified and the regional styles are all fairly similar, but Sherry is the most famous.

Andalucia is the southernmost autonomous region of Spain and includes Jerez, Montilla, Condado de Huelva and Malaga. Sherry is the most famous wine, despite its fall from fashion over the last thirty years, it is now beginning to make something of a comeback.

Styles range from the bone dry Manzanilla and Fino to the unctuously sweet Pedro Ximenez and the intensely rich wines of Malaga. The fortified wines of this region are some of the best value wines available on the market, partly due to their unfashionable image. They show amazing intensity of flavour and astonishing complexity, unparalleled anywhere else for their price.
