Manzanillas are made in the same way as a fino, but because it is made near the sea, the humid, salty air affects the taste and gives it a fuller flavour, with notes of apple and straw and a nutty finish. Drink well-chilled as an aperitif with salted almonds or with tapas dishes such as prawns in garlic.

Light golden in colour with a floral aroma and notes of olive and apple. Though dry, this is rich and round for a Fino with a soft finish. Fino sherry is made using a dry wine made from Palomino grapes, which develop a layer of white yeast, the 'flor', in the cool damp air of the Bodegas - only those with a particularly good flor are made into Finos, as this keeps the wine from oxidising; those with less flor become Olorosos. Serve the Fino well chilled as an aperitif or with a starter.

A velvety medium-dry sherry with a strong, complex flavour: chocolate, caramel and roasted almond notes and a clean taste on the palate. Oloroso sherries start out the same as Fino, but in those barrels with less 'flor', the wine oxidises and matures differently to produce this complex and subtle drink. Drink chilled or at room temperature with mature cheese such as an aged Manchego or Mahon, tapas dishes or desserts.

This is complex and on the dry side for a cream sherry, with caramel, dried fig and iodine flavours and a terrific finish with a lingering aftertaste of molasses and roast nuts.

This is a semi-dry sherry with an aroma of butterscotch and hazelnuts, a caramel colour and spicy flavour. Amontillado develops from an aging Fino after the 'flor' has died, allowing oxygen into the wine to continue the maturation process. Serve well-chilled, with smoky flavours such as mushrooms or glazed chicken, or cheeses like Manchego, Mahon or Cabra al Romero. Now Gold medal winner at the 2009 National Wine Awards in Cordoba.
