dry sherry

Pale Spanish aperitif

Dry sherry is a fortified wine from Spain's Jerez region with little to no residual sugar, producing a crisp, nutty flavor rather than sweetness.

Fino and manzanilla are the driest styles.

Dry sherry appears in cooking, particularly in sauces and soups, and is served chilled as an aperitif: a glass of dry sherry before dinner.
