Spanish Sweet Wine

Spanish sweet wines encompass a variety of dessert wines produced across Spain, with notable examples from regions like Jerez, Málaga, and Valencia. These wines are typically made from late-harvested or sun-dried grapes, such as Pedro Ximénez, Moscatel, and Garnacha. The production process involves fermenting the highly concentrated grape must, which retains high sugar levels. Fortification may occur to enhance stability and alcohol content. Spanish sweet wines are known for their intense flavours of dried fruits, honey, and spices, and are often enjoyed as dessert wines or paired with cheeses and pastries.
