Production notes

Launched in 1882, and granted the Royal Warrant shortly after, Harveys is crafted from a delicate blend of Jerez’s finest wines; delicate finos, aged amontillados, fragrant olorosos and the special Pedro Ximenez grape combined to create a silky, mellow smoothness. The sherries are aged in American Oak butts through the traditional solera system, a system that sees up to thirty different soleras of each type of sherry, aged between 3 and 20 years, expertly blended together.
