"Oloroso", sherry wine

"Generosos" or dry sherries. This category covers the vast majority of sherries produced. They are the oldest and best-known: manzanilla, fino, oloroso, amontillado, and palo cortado. They are all made using palomino grapes.

Oloroso, dark in color—the darker the color, the longer the aging process—as its name (which means "fragrant") suggests, it has complex, potent aromas of dry nuts, balsamic notes, and fine woods.
