The Production Area of the wines protected by the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry is located at the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Only the municipalities of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Trebujena, Chipiona, Rota, Puerto Real, Chiclana de la Frontera, and Lebrija are authorized to produce grapes for the elaboration of wines with the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry, and only from vineyards deemed suitable by the Regulatory Council.
The D.O. Manzanilla - Sanlúcar de Barrameda is geographically embedded within the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. Thus, both designations share the same production area and are governed by the same Regulatory Council.
