sherry vinegar

Fortified wine acid

Sherry vinegar is a vinegar made from sherry wine, produced in the Jerez region of Spain.

It has a complex, slightly nutty flavor with more depth than standard wine vinegars.

Aged versions develop richer, more concentrated taste.

Used in vinaigrettes, marinades, and Spanish cuisine: The gazpacho needs a splash of sherry vinegar.
