Jerez de la frontera, in the heart of the province of Cadiz, is synonymous for the English word \u00b4sherry\u00b4 -jerez \u2013 the delightful sweet wine which comes from this town and its surrounding vineyrads.<\/p>\n
Jerez de la Frontera, literally translated Jerez at the Border, was once a natural border or barrier between the Christian and Morrish regions of Spain.<\/p>\n
So much energy in Jerez<\/strong><\/p>\n As Jaen<\/a> was known for its flat extensive olive green hues thanks to its olive trees and products, Jerez de la Frontera is covered with shades of lighter greens and dark purple fields. <\/strong>These vineyards, always exposed to the intense sunshine, is what makes Jerez\u00b4s grapes so rich in sugar content and such a sweet sherry wine. Thanks to the Phoenicians and their genial idea of planting vines for sherry, others took up on the idea and have made it a prosperous business. One of the first nations of traders who appreciated this jewel and started manufacturing and doing commerce with it was the British. There are many \u00b4bodegas\u00b4 or wine cellars producing sherry and many offer interesting tours to show their bottling plant, ageing process, tasting and sale of their best reserves.<\/p>\n
