Oloroso meaning ‘scented’ in Spanish is a variety of fortified wine (sherry) made in Jerez region and produced by oxidative aging. It is normally darker than Amontillado sherry.

Sherry is made using the Solera aging system, also referred to as “fractional blending”. This is a system, complicated in nature, developed by the Spanish and Portuguese and is used in the production of Sherry and Port.Though naturally dry, the relatively high strength and full body of an Oloroso will give it an impression of roundness and even sweetness.
