Andalucia, Spain
Andalucia is a region in southern Spain that is home to a wide variety of wine styles. The climate in Andalucia is hot and dry, which is perfect for producing the fortified wines and sherries that the region is famous for.
One of the most important wine regions in Andalucia is Montilla-Moriles, located in the province of Cordoba. The wines produced in this area are similar in style to sherry, but are made using the Pedro Ximenez grape instead of the Palomino grape used in sherry production. Expect complex, nutty wine with flavors of raisins, caramel, and honey.
Other styles of wine produced in Andalucia include reds made from the Tempranillo grape, as well as white wines made from Moscatel and Palomino grapes. In addition to fortified wines like sherry and Montilla-Moriles, the region is also known for its sweet dessert wines.
