Sherry Blend is a convenient, collective name for the three grape varieties used to make Sherry in Jerez, southwestern Spain. They are Palomino, Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel de Alejandria (Muscat of Alexandria).
Palomino is by far the dominant variety, and accounts for almost 95% of Sherry production. It is usually used varietally, although sometimes Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel de Alejandria are used in small proportions to add richness. Pedro Ximenez, most famously used in the production of lusciously sweet sherries, is grown in such small volumes in Jerez that it is often brought in from Montilla-Moriles, 60 miles (100km) inland. Muscat of Alexandria is also grown on a very small scale, and is valued for its sweetness and light, fruity aromas.
However, the winemaking methods employed to make Sherry are arguably far more important to the finished product than the grape varieties. For more information about these see: Jerez-Xeres-Sherry.
